Keir Starmer has banned 11 'far-Right agitators' from entering Britain to attend Tommy Robinson's rally on Saturday - as the Met Police gears up for an 'unprecedented' policing operation. The Prime Minister claimed he was in 'a fight for the soul of the country' as he sought to bolster his support against leadership challenges from Labour's Left. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the Unite the Kingdom rally in central London, risking a clash with a separate pro-Palestine march to mark Nakba Day. Thousands of officers will take to the streets and armoured vehicles will be deployed along with police horses, dogs, drones and helicopters as the Met aims to avoid clashes between groups of protesters. The Home Secretary has the power to cancel a person's permission to enter or stay in the UK, and Sir Keir signalled a tougher stance on those he described as 'far-Right agitators' during a speech earlier this week.Right-wing personalities claiming to have been barred include Polish politician Dominik Tarczynski, Belgian politician and commentator Filip Dewinter, anti-Islam influencer Valentina Gomez, US commentator Joey Mannarino, Spanish personality Ada Lluch, Dutch anti-immigration activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek and US-based podcaster Don Keith.Keir Starmer visited the Met Police operation room today with London Mayor Sadiq Khan. He is seen at a briefing alongside Commander Clair Haynes Valentina Gomez - who filmed herself burning a Quran - had also been due to speak at the Unite the Kingdom rallyAs he visited a Met's operation room today, the Prime Minister said: 'We're in a fight for the soul of this country, and the Unite the Kingdom march this weekend is a stark reminder of exactly what we are up against. Its organisers are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple.'We will block those coming into the UK who seek to incite hatred and violence. For anyone who sets out to wreak havoc on our streets, to intimidate or threaten anyone, you can expect to face the full force of the law.'My Government will always champion peaceful protest but will act decisively against hatred. We all have a responsibility to speak out against those spouting vile divisive views wherever we see it.'We are a country built on decency, fairness and respect, at our best when people from different backgrounds come together in common purpose. That is what we must fight for.'Saturday's rally has been organised by Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.The previous Unite the Kingdom protest in September was attended by between 110,000 and 150,000 people.A massive operation is being planned by the Met as two protest marches and the FA Cup final take place.Thousands of officers will take to the streets and armoured vehicles will be deployed along with police horses, dogs, drones and helicopters as the Met aims to avoid clashes.Heavy restrictions have been put in place in a bid to keep the Unite the Kingdom and pro-Palestine Nakba Day rallies separate, with added concerns that some football fans will go straight from the FA Cup final to the Tommy Robinson event. Other speakers who have been blocked from entering the UK or the rally include Dutch far-Right influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek, an advocate of the 'great replacement theory' Joey Mannarino has had his Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) revoked by the Home Secretary on the basis his presence in Britain would 'not be conducive to the public good'Live facial recognition will also be used for the first time at a protest.Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman said the scale of the operation is 'unprecedented in recent years' and will cost the force £4.5million - £1.7million of which is to bring in officers from other forces to boost numbers.Around 4,000 officers are expected to be on duty on Saturday, with 660 being drafted in from forces outside the Met.Mr Harman said: 'We are policing two significant and potentially challenging protests in the centre of London, as well as the FA Cup final, which is taking place in Wembley on the same day.'We're doing this at a time of continued global instability and tension, which we know has the potential to fuel tension and play out on the streets of London, the terrorism threat level has been raised to severe, and in recent weeks and months, we have seen a terrorist attack.'We've seen a sustained campaign of arson targeting Jewish Londoners, against the backdrop of increasing hate crime, in particular antisemitism.'So fears in Jewish communities are particularly heightened, but we've also seen increased concern more broadly, including in Muslim communities.'Taken together, these factors give us significant cause for concern as we head into the weekend, and require a policing plan that provides us with the most assertive grip on the movement of large numbers of people, large groups, and the potential for serious disorder and other criminality that may arise as a result.'Police are expected to monitor slogans used and have been in discussions with prosecutors about language which has previously not been criminalised, but could see protesters arrested. Those blocked from entering the UK include Ada Lluch, a Spanish anti-Muslim influencer who has defended the country's Franco dictatorship as preferable to democracy Dominik Tarczynski, a member of the European parliament, is one of at least seven far-Right figures banned by the Government ahead of Saturday's central London eventRecent criminal cases have seen suspects charged after shouting 'death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' and 'globalise the intifada'.Polish MEP Dominik Tarczynski has threatened to sue Sir Keir over the decision to ban him. Mr Tarczynski was heavily criticised earlier this year for posting 'Good job ICE' in response to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.Writing on X about his ban, he said: 'This is what communism looks like in the 21st century. I have just been denied entry to the UK in order to speak at the largest patriotic event in Europe.'Starmer will be sued by me. Not the government, not the Home Office but Starmer personally. Once you lose the next election, communist, we'll meet in court!'Former prime minister Liz Truss described the move as 'shocking'.
