The government’s policing minister has warned there is intelligence more protests could happen in the next few days after concerns about violence last night did not materialise.
Dame Diana Johnson said: “I am cautious about what happened last night.
“It’s good that we didn’t see the level of disorder and criminality on our streets that we have in previous days, but obviously this is just the start.
“There is now further intelligence of events during the next few days, and we need to see what happens there.”
Police had intelligence about 100 protests planned across the UK on Wednesday night following a week of riots.
But after a massive planned police operation, it was mainly counter-protesters who turned out to march peacefully.
