A car overturned and set alight and officers sprayed with a fire extinguisher are among scenes as far-right demonstrators continue to cause havoc in Sunderland.

It follows similar disorder in other towns and cities in the wake of the Southport stabbings.

North East Mayor Kim McGuinness has called the scenes ‘appalling’ and said those responsible ‘do not speak for our region’.
