Eleven foreign "far-right agitators" have been blocked from entering the country to attend a rally organised by anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, the prime minister has said.

Tens of thousands are expected to join the Unite the Kingdom event on Saturday, while an annual pro-Palestinian demonstration takes place in another part of London.

Sir Keir Starmer has said "we're in a fight for the soul of this country" ahead of the protest.

The Metropolitan Police is anticipating one of its busiest days in recent years, and has drafted more than 4,000 officers over fears of clashes if the rival protests coincide.

In a statement on Friday, Sir Keir 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 those of you who missed it, this is what ‘tens of thousands’ at a Unite the Kingdom event looked like last year.

A fight for the soul of the country? I think he meant to say “I’m in a fight to save my job”

Actually the UK is worse about free speech than is China, jailing more people over online comments than Russia and China combined by a long shot.
