As the situation in Southport remains tense after violence last night, police are dealing with another protest outside Downing Street. It follows false reports that the suspect in Monday's knife attack was an asylum seeker.
That's all our live coverage for tonight. Violent clashes occurred in central London as right-wing protesters threw flares at the gates of Downing Street and glass bottles and police. A few hundred protesters chanting 'Rule Britannia', 'save our kids' and 'stop the boats' were seen in the capital as the Enough Is Enough protest got under way at around 7pm.
It followed a night of protest in Southport on Tuesday, which appeared to be linked to several false accusations spread online about the 17-year-old boy that has been arrested in relation to yesterday's attack at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club. Five people have now been arrested in connection to the riot, which saw police vehicles being set alight and bricks being thrown towards a local mosque.
