More protests have been planned for the coming days over the Southport stabbing attacks, including one targeting a mosque. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has hit out at Sir Keir Starmer, accusing the prime minister of not having 'an earthly clue' of how to deal with the disorder.
Liverpool mayor Steve Rotherham has welcomed a package of support for Southport announced by the prime minister.He said it would aid efforts to 'honour the memory of those tragically killed or injured', by working with schools and others affected to commemorate them.The government said the programme would put support in place for victims, ensure the needs of bereaved families were at the heart of the response, and drive longer-term efforts to bring the community together.
Southport was 'struggling to come to terms with such a tragedy on its doorstep', said the mayor of the Liverpool City Region.'Once the glare of the national media has moved on, it leaves behind a community that needs to come together and rebuild.'This is a tight knit area and we have already seen that inclusivity and community on full display in the town's response to the mindless violence on Tuesday night.
