Mapped: Where far-right riots have broken out in England and Northern Ireland

MORE than 400 people have now been arrested in the wake of far-right riots across England and Northern Ireland.

Violence and disorder has so far been seen in locations including Rotherham, Tamworth, Manchester, Hull, Liverpool, Bristol, Blackpool, Plymouth, Birmingham and Belfast.

More unrest is to come, as police are aware of six potential events on Tuesday and officers are anticipating a busy day on Wednesday as they monitor reports of at least 30 possible gatherings.

On Monday, the Prime Minister said a “standing army” of specialist police officers was being assembled to crack down on rioting, as he called for perpetrators to be named and shamed.

Keir Starmer vowed to “ramp up criminal justice” after an emergency Cobra meeting was called following disorder over the weekend which saw rioters storm hotels housing asylum seekers.

Below is an interactive map of the towns and cities where there have been violent far-right riots.
