“Far-right” Americans will be blocked from entering the U.K. for a “Unite the Kingdom, Unite the West” march this weekend, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said.
Starmer, who is facing a political crisis in the U.K. with calls for him to quit after his Labour Party saw major losses in local elections last week, has spoken out against a march set to take place in London on Saturday, backed by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. It is scheduled for the same day as the pro-Palestine Nakba Day rally.
“This Labour government will block far-right agitators from travelling to Britain for that event, because we will not allow people to come to the U.K. to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets,” Starmer said in a speech on Monday where he attempted to convince party members he should remain as leader.
