Amid mounting pressure from MPs and anti-fascist groups after anti-immigration protests, Prime Minister Keir Starmer finally broke his silence, condemning the “racist intimidation of minorities” and violence against officers. Stressing that Britain “will never surrender its flag to those who use it as a symbol of fear and division,” Starmer reaffirmed the country’s values of tolerance and diversity. The UK witnessed one of its largest far-right demonstrations in years as more than 110,000 protesters flooded London’s streets on September 13, sparking violent clashes with police. The rally, framed as an anti-immigration protest, turned chaotic with bottles, flares, and fists thrown, leaving 26 officers injured, four seriously, and at least 25 people arrested. Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk, a former Trump ally, fueled controversy by virtually addressing the rally and calling for Parliament to be dissolved. The unrest also triggered a counter-march of nearly 5,000 anti-fascist demonstrators, highlighting the country’s growing political and cultural fault lines.
