Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson are a threat to British democracy, Sir Keir Starmer has warned as he blasted right wing populists who 'exploit' the England flag to 'whip up hatred'.

The Prime Minister lashed out a week after more than 100,000 people marched through London on an anti-migrant demo organised by 'convicted criminal' Robinson, which left 26 police officers injured.

Billionaire Mr Musk also addressed the crowd in a video message in which he told the crowd to 'fight back' or 'die'.

Writing in the Sun on Sunday today, the PM called for the country to reject division and embrace a 'patriotic path of national renewal'.

The country is facing a struggle 'between patriots who care about our country, and populists who only care about themselves', he said.
