Prime Minister Rishi Sunak used a Friday evening address to warn that democracy is being targeted by extremists.
Mr Sunak said there are “forces here at home trying to tear us apart”.
Speaking at a lectern outside the doors of No 10 Downing Street, Mr Sunak warned about the current situation in Britain, in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks by Hamas against Israel.
“In recent weeks and months, we have seen a shocking increase in extremist disruption and criminality,” he said in a hastily-arranged address to the nation.
And he said the victory of George Galloway in the Rochdale by-election was “beyond alarming”.
