Unite The Kingdom protests could end Starmer's career
A massive London rally organized by Tommy Robinson has put huge pressure on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with reports he may step down — bad news for Starmer's Labour government, good news for protesters fed up with immigration and speech crackdowns.
- A huge crowd marched in London demanding action on immigration, free speech, and energy policy, with reports Starmer is preparing to step down.
- Starmer called the protesters racist thugs, which only made more people angry, since many were ordinary citizens of all backgrounds.
- Trump weighed in, saying Starmer is in trouble on energy and immigration and should drill in the North Sea instead of relying on Norway for oil.
- The UK now arrests more people for online comments than China does, fueling public anger over speech laws.
- Public outrage over Pakistani rape gangs that police were slow to prosecute for fear of looking racist is a major driver of the protests.
Outlook: Starmer is not forced to leave until 2029, but pressure is building for him to resign or face a no-confidence vote soon.
