Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the organisers of the Unite the Kingdom rally, stating they are 'peddling hatred and division' and signalling a tougher stance on such individuals by leveraging the Home Secretary’s power to cancel entry permissions. More than 100,000 people are anticipated to attend the event, prompting the Metropolitan Police to plan an 'unprecedented' operation involving thousands of officers, armoured vehicles, and other resources, including live facial recognition technology for the first time at a protest. Among those claiming to have been banned are Polish politician Dominik Tarczynski, Belgian politician Filip Dewinter, anti-Islam influencer Valentina Gomez, US commentator Joey Mannarino, and Dutch anti-immigration activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Sir Keir emphasised that his government will champion peaceful protest but act decisively against hatred, warning that anyone seeking to 'wreak havoc on our streets' or intimidate others can expect to face the full force of the law.
