Thousands Gather for Anti-Austerity Demonstration in London
- On June 7, 2025, thousands gathered in central London to demonstrate against reductions in public funding and changes to social support programs, in an event organized by the People’s Assembly.
- The march followed planned welfare cuts of £5 billion by 2030 and increased defense spending from 2.3 to 3 percent of GDP under Keir Starmer's government.
- The event brought together workers' unions, advocates for healthcare, disability rights, housing, and social support groups who condemned the government for increasing military expenditure at the cost of essential public services.

- The demonstration signaled broad opposition to austerity policies and increased militarization, urging the government to reverse cuts and improve support for vulnerable people.
