British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says a „standing army“ of police will combat far-right riots that have flared across England, calling for ramped up criminal justice to ensure arrested offenders feel „the full force of the law“. Starmer was speaking after an emergency response meeting bringing together ministers and the police to discuss how to quell the violence that first broke out in Southport, northwest England, on July 29 over the murder of three children.
