EPABritain will not surrender its flag to those that wish to use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division, Sir Keir Starmer has said.The prime minister said the flag represents "our diverse country" and he will not allow people to feel intimidated on "our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin".His comments came after more than 150,000 people took to the streets of central London for a "Unite the Kingdom" march organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, and about 5,000 took part in a counter-protest, co-ordinated by Stand Up To Racism.Earlier, Business Secretary Peter Kyle said marchers were "demonstrating freedom of association and freedom of speech".Who is Tommy Robinson?Dozens of officers injured as up to 150,000 join Tommy Robinson rallyThe prime minister said: "People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our country's values."But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin."Britain is nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division."Police say 26 officers were injured on the day - including four who were seriously hurt - with 24 people arrested.Speaking about Saturday's protests on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Kyle said moments like these were "klaxon calls" for those in power to redouble their efforts to address the big concerns people have, including on immigration."What worries me most is the divisions in our society and other societies and other democratic societies ... it's not even the left and the right at the moment, " he told the programme."There are figures such as Tommy Robinson that are able to touch into a sense of disquiet and grievance in the community in our society," he said.The "small minority" who had committed violence would be held accountable, he told the programme.Kyle criticised Elon Musk's comments after he appeared at Saturday's rally via video link telling protesters to "fight back" or "die"."I thought that they were slightly incomprehensible comments that were totally inappropriate", the minister said.The tech billionaire also referred to massive uncontrolled migration and called for a change of government in the UK.This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
