Rioters will face consequences for "marauding" on the streets of the UK, a policing minister has vowed following widespread violent unrest on Saturday, 3 August. Dame Diana Johnson has indicated that courts could sit overnight to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice, while forces have measures in place to draft in extra officers to tackle potential unrest. The far-right has drawn widespread condemnation as the organising force behind disorder in multiple locations in the wake of the killings of three young girls in Southport on Monday. It followed the spread of false claims online that the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana from Lancashire, was an asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat.
