- Assistant Chief Constable Ian Drummond-Smith stated that even after a year, there are individuals captured clearly on images who have yet to be identified, while Prime Minister Starmer described the events as acts of "far-right thuggery."
- Police are launching a national appeal to help trace around 40 suspects across five forces, aiming to contain disorder swiftly and deter future unrest with rapid justice.
