British PM Starmer Addresses Police After Deadly Dance Class Attack Sparks Protests

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet senior police leaders following violent clashes between protesters and police after a knife attack at a dance class resulted in the deaths of three young girls. The protests were driven by misinformation, leading to heightened tensions and public disorder.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet senior police leaders on Thursday following violent clashes between protesters and police. The unrest was sparked by the tragic deaths of three young girls in a knife attack at a dance class.

Thousands of anti-immigration protesters gathered near Starmer's Downing Street office on Wednesday, chanting "save our kids" and "we want our country back". This followed injuries to more than 50 police officers in Southport, where the attack took place.

Starmer will offer the government's full backing to the police and emphasize that while peaceful protest must be protected, those who exploit such rights for violence will face legal consequences.
