UK Home Office allocates record £66m mosque security after Southport disorder

The UK Home Office issued a record £66m in emergency security funding for mosques and community sites following the 2024 Southport disorder, with an additional £41m allocated for 2025-26. The funding highlights heightened hostility toward Muslims and reflects a sustained government response to far-right violence. The figures, obtained by the Guardian, are exclusive and not yet independently verified.
