Far right protests as they happened: four arrests after rocks thrown at police in Hull

Protesters clashed with police as far right-linked demonstrations broke out across Yorkshire.

In Hull, riot police had to use pepper spray on people clad in England flags, who hurled rocks and objects at them. Pro-Palestine marchers faced down people wearing Tommy Robinson t-shirts and holding Reform UK placards in Leeds.

It was the latest disorder to break out across England this week, with riots in London, Manchester, Southport and Hartlepool, after the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Merseyside on Monday. Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 17, from Lancashire, is accused of the attack, but false claims spread online that the suspect was an asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat.
