• Keir Starmer used a Sun on Sunday article to criticise figures he says encourage violence and to urge a patriotic renewal following last weekend’s Unite the Kingdom march.
• Metropolitan Police say 110,000–150,000 people gathered in London on 13 September, with 26 officers injured and at least 24 arrests, and investigations to identify more suspects continue.
• Elon Musk addressed the rally by video, telling attendees to "fight back or you die," a message condemned by Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
• Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey called for Ofcom to investigate X and for Parliament to question Musk over his role under the Online Safety Act.
• Tensions have spread beyond London, with clashes between anti-immigration protesters and counter-protesters in Glasgow and smaller demonstrations and counter-protests reported in Oxford.
