LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Keir Starmer has summoned British police chiefs for a crisis meeting over violent unrest that followed a stabbing attack that left three young girls dead. A 17-year-old suspect is due in court Thursday to face three counts of murder and 10 of attempted murder. The attack on children at a Taylor Swift-themed summer holiday dance class has been used by far-right activists to stoke anger at immigrants and Muslims. That’s despite the fact that the suspect is not an immigrant, and his religion has not been disclosed. Far-right demonstrators clashed with police outside a mosque in Southport on Tuesday and caused a melee near the prime minister’s office in London the next day.
