“Far-right” Americans will be blocked from entering the U.K. for a “Unite the Kingdom, Unite the West” march this weekend, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said.

Starmer, who is facing a political crisis in the U.K. with calls for him to quit after his Labour Party saw major losses in local elections last week, has spoken out against a march set to take place in London on Saturday, backed by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. It is scheduled for the same day as the pro-Palestine Nakba Day rally.

“This Labour government will block far-right agitators from travelling to Britain for that event, because we will not allow people to come to the U.K. to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets,” Starmer said in a speech on Monday where he attempted to convince party members he should remain as leader.

Robinson wrote on X that an “American congressman” is set to speak at the event on Saturday. “Will you block the American congressman we have coming to speak Keir Starmer? I f***ing dare ya,” he said.

1. I don't know what the deal is with the UK

After routing the Tories, the Labour government seems determined to embrace a lot of Tory policies and shield their own pedophiles. UK voters seem to want their own Trump (Nigel Farage) and are rushing to embrace fascism

[kimbutgar]

3. Russian propaganda that occurs that brought Brexit to Great Britain

It’s been a disaster for Great Britain .

[highplainsdem]

4. The Brits I know hate Trump and Farage. They don't like the Labour Party agreeing with Trump on

issues like AI. They hate racism and fascism.

5. Labour seems to be continuing

the same racist policies towards immigrants as the Tories/Reform have and refuses to discuss rejoining the EU after "Brexit" was a complete disaster. Refusing to address NHS crisis and keep talking about drilling in the North Sea,

6. Depends on which part of the increasingly un-united UK you're talking about.

The Farage phenomenon is almost all in England, not Scotland or Wales, or Northern Ireland. SNP won big in Scotland and won't even consider talking to Reform to form a government. They don't have to. With Labour and the Greens, they have an overwhelming majority. Plaid Cymru did the same in Wales. Sein Fein still has the plurality in NI. All are center left to left and despise Farage and his fascist clap trap. It's the Saxon wankers once again causing the trouble.

9. You are correct

I should have been more precise.

What is wrong with England?

11. And Wales - the Welsh voted for Reform in about the same numbers as the English

Projected GB vote for Reform: 26% (Conservative 17%) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1428pev1n0t?post=asset%3A917c45ad-601c-4c78-a2ba-e3c146efeeac#post

Actual share in Wales: Reform 29.3%, Conservative 10.7% https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2026/wales/results

Wales voted for Brexit, too.

8. I'm sure Rupert Murdoch has tentacles in the UK.

[muriel_volestrangler]

10. Murdoch came to the UK in the late sixties

He bought The Sun (a tabloid), which became the best selling UK paper. He then bought The Times and The Sunday Times, the "papers of record" (before he got his hands on them, anyway). There's a reason the playwright Dennis Potter called his terminal cancer "Rupert" in 1994.

2. It's only fair. US Homeland Security now has strict vetting for ideology to keep out them furrin ideas.

7. Keep your fascist bullshit to yourself, Amurka.
