- On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the 'Unite the Kingdom' demonstration led by far-right campaigner Tommy Robinson drew over 100,000 participants to London.
- The event arose amid growing political concerns about unauthorized immigration, especially dangerous Channel crossings by over 30,000 migrants this year and heated protests over asylum-seeker hotel accommodations.
- Elon Musk addressed the demonstration via video link, calling for Parliament's dissolution, an early election, a government change, and warning protesters that "violence is coming to you" with the choice to "fight back or die."

- Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned violence and intimidation at the event, emphasized Britain’s values of tolerance and peace, resisted sanctioning Musk despite calls, while Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey urged condemnation and considered sanctions against Musk.
