UK faces ‘fight of our times’ against toxic division shown in far-right rally, says Starmer
The Guardian ^ | Tue 16 Sep 2025 | Peter Walker

The UK faces “the fight of our times” against the division exemplified by the Tommy Robinson-led far-right march in London on Saturday, Keir Starmer has told his cabinet in a robust if arguably belated response to the scenes in the capital.

Starmer made the comments at Tuesday morning’s meeting of his cabinet, Downing Street said. No 10 extended the criticism to Elon Musk, saying many Britons, particularly from minority backgrounds, would have felt intimidated by “calls to violence from foreign billionaire”.

About 110,000 people took part in what was possibly the largest far-right protest in UK history. As well as a speech from Robinson, the anti-Islam activist, the event heard via video link from Musk, the X owner, who said that “violence is coming” and told the crowd that “you either fight back or you die”.

According to a summary of the cabinet meeting, Starmer told his ministers “that some of the scenes of police officers being attacked on Saturday, and a march led by a convicted criminal, were not just shocking but sent a chill through the spines of people around the country, and particularly many ethnic minority Britons”.

He’s not wrong about the toxic division. He is wrong about the source of the toxic division.

It’s always “the far right” with those people.
Anything right of Mao is “far right” to leftists.
This is the same as when they claim “our democracy”.
One simply cannot listen to them.

He keeps saying it’s the “far right” but this is always disputed they even carry signs “I’m a mom - not far right” and all this now because they know the PM will come out with this

<< Starmer told his ministers ….”a march led by a convicted criminal” >>

The criminals are those who flooded the UK with jihadi trash. Hopefully they’ll get their comeuppance. Soon.

--- "...made the comments at Tuesday morning’s meeting of his cabinet...."

Not much of an audience. Note that he isn't holding a rally to air his views....

this far right stuff has got to end.

if far right means total government control over individuals, then that means liberal mindset. left spectrum is no government rule as in anarchy.

the “right” just wants enough government control for the protection of individual rights. putting fascists on the far right is not right.

I don't think far right really exists on a political spectrum because ultimately the state ends up taking control (left).

Mussolini and Stalin were dictators even though you could argue that they were "far right" and "far left".

Too bad they gave Labour a vote of confidence proof majority meaning no election for four years
