A rioter has become the first person to receive a prison sentence on a violent disorder charge following nationwide unrest after being jailed for three years for his part in violence in Southport.

Derek Drummond, 58, was part of the disorder in the Merseyside town on July 30 following a fatal knife attack on three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club.
