UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers, describing it as 'far-right thuggery,' as violence erupted in several towns and cities across the country.

In a statement from 10 Downing Street on Sunday afternoon, the Prime Minister vowed that 'we will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice' following ongoing unrest across parts of the country.

In the northern town of Rotherham, police struggled to hold back a mob of far-right rioters who tried to break into a hotel housing asylum-seekers. Police officers with shields faced a barrage of missiles, including pieces of wood, chairs, and fire extinguishers, while a small fire in a wheelie bin was visible and windows in the hotel were smashed.
