Teenagers, drunks and men who saw red — the rioters in court. This is a great piece on the tragedy and sadness of lost boys and men. @conky_k thetimes.com/article/9b7e81…

"Helicopters are circling overhead, hundreds of people chanting, shouting and throwing heavy objects at the police." Riot police have cleared an area around a mosque in Southport where protests turned violent in the wake of a stabbing attack, @conky_k tells #TimesRadio.


Police van on fire as hundreds of people riot on the streets of Southport outside the mosque. It follows misinformation online that man who stabbed three children is a Muslim immigrant

Labour is buying ads in overseas English-language outlets urging British citizens living abroad to register to vote. This is the first time Brits who've lived abroad for 15+ years can vote. I haven't seen the Tories, who *introduced the rule change*, running similar ads.
