Who are the rioters and what jail sentences have they received?

The riots following the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport have been the worst unrest the UK has seen in more than a decade.

The violence has been fuelled by misinformation online, the far-right and anti-immigration sentiment.

Almost 500 people have been arrested and close to 150 charged over the unrest, in towns and cities across England and in Northern Ireland.

The first disturbances came in Southport the day after the fatal stabbings, with angry crowds fighting with police and causing damage to a mosque.

In the days that followed, unrest spread across England and arrests were made in towns and cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Bristol and Hull. There were also violent scenes in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
