Google has been accused of helping to monetise a website which spread misinformation about the identity of the Southport attacker and sparked the summer riots last year.

MPs on the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee said they had seen an unpublished report which said the tech giant’s advertising network had helped monetise a site where misinformation about the attack appeared.
