A protester holds a placard reading "Freedom for Palestine" during a demonstration outside Downing Street gates, in central London, on July 25, 2025, called by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign group to protest against the ongoing food shortages in the Gaza Strip. More than 220 British MPs, including dozens from the ruling Labour party, demanded on July 25, 2025 that the UK government formally recognise a Palestinian state, further increasing pressure on Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
