However, Keir Starmer’s government has resisted calls to sanction the billionaire for his remarks while supporting the far-right
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned “dangerous” comments by Elon Musk after the X and Tesla owner told an anti-immigration rally that violence is coming to Britain and they must fight or die. But the UK government resisted opposition calls to sanction Musk for the remarks.
Starmer on Monday denounced the violence that took place on the fringes of Saturday’s 100,000 or more strong “Unite the Kingdom” demonstration in London organised by far-right campaigner Tommy Robinson.
Police said 26 officers were injured, four seriously, as a minority among the protesters tried to breach lines separating them from a smaller anti-racist counterdemonstration. There were 25 people arrested at the event and the Metropolitan Police said more arrests would follow.
