We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident.
We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident.
This incident in Liverpool is looking less and less like a terrorist incident and more like an exasperated, freaked out person who's car got surrounded and who put his foot down
Probably worth pointing this out before both sides try to politicise it for their own ends.
i think what we've discovered tonight is that Farage has been lying.
britain doesn't actually agree with him.
he doesn't 'have a point'.
could we stop putting him on the tv now?
since he basically only represents a fringe that have fallen for his lies.
Thousands turn out in Liverpool to stand against racism.
All across the country.
From Newcastle to Liverpool, to Bristol, to London, to Brighton.
People are saying:
No to racism
No to violence
Yes to unity.
The racists cannot win.
They will not win.
Few of the signs on display in Liverpool tonight. Chants of “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here” followed by a huge round of applause.
Muslim elders visited the Clumsy Swan in Birmingham last night to apologise to the staff for Muslim youths attacking a customer who they believed was a far-right rioter.
@elonmusk@Keir_Starmer Seriously? Since when have you claimed to understand British communities or British politics? Exactly how many days have you spent with these communities? Does it ever occur to you that this might perhaps be the wrong time to sound off about a subject you know nothing about?
I will never forgive Elon Musk for allowing this app to deteriorate into a cesspit of racism, transphobia, and abuse. The amount of bigots who’ve been emboldened and allowed a platform to spread their hateful lies is just insane.
I am fucking disgusted. You absolute scumbags are shouting “protect our women and children” and kicking a female police officer in the back when she’s on the floor. Misogynistic scum of the earth. Homegrown terrorism right there.

Look around you. It's not immigrants who are attacking the police, setting police cars on fire, burning down police stations.
It's far right thugs incited by Reform MPs and right wing commentators.
So, who are the REAL problem?
You destroyed a library. It was MORE than a library, it was a food bank, a source of heat for people in the winter, a place for kids from low income families to use the internet, or do their homework. Why destroy something so vital? Yeah you’re so patriotic guys.
Mark & Debbie from #Spellow Hub, express their sorrow after the destruction of their community hub. The service gives vital support to the community & the devastation caused by the appalling criminal actions of a minority has left people in shock.

The Muslim community bringing cups of tea and biscuits for the police officers, they’ve been doing this all day too ❤️#riots#RiotsUK#Rotherham#Blackburn
