Description: More than 800 people were arrested attending a pro – Palestine protest on Saturday by London’s Metropolitan police. The protesters rallied against the governments decision to ban the organization Palestine Action and designate it a terrorist organization. The protests follow last week’s unrest regarding the country’s migration crisis and Prime Minister Starmer’s cabinet reshuffling, following the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, over a tax scandal. London subway workers have also announced collective protests beginning on 07 Sep, with major travel disruptions expected in London. The subway workers have expressed their displeasure in the government’s handling of the public transport schedule, cited health and safety concerns and demanded the reduction of the working week.
Impact: Starmer’s government is facing surmountable public pressure in the form of civil unrest and several protests which are aimed at disapproving the government’s approach towards crucial socio – economic issues in the country. The migration crisis is yet to be tackled as protests have persisted over the last week, while the conflicting narrative over the UK’s support towards Palestine has prompted the Palestine Action organization to escalate anti – government demonstrations. Subway workers have also joined the public expulsion of the government’s policies regarding their handling of public services as they have announced a week – long protests which could substantially impact the transport sector and disrupt public services. Various protests are expected to continue with Starmer’s Labor government under severe scrutiny for immediate and rapid reforms across the entire political governing spectrum.
