British activists who rally outside the houses of deputies could face up to six months in prison in connection with a new bill aimed at combating harassment of politicians amid complaints. This was reported on November 3 by The Guardian newspaper, citing sources.

"Activists can be imprisoned for up to six months <...> for protesting at the houses of deputies and councillors, as well as other persons who ran for public office," the publication says.

According to the interlocutors of the publication, the development of this initiative, which will expand the powers of law enforcement officials in eliminating protests, was due to the "toxic behavior" observed in UK politics. The text emphasized that the sanctions, which, according to the authors, may be criticized, will be imposed on persons who came out to protest in order to influence the private life of a politician.

The Financial Times (FT) newspaper learned on September 20 about the plans of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to introduce digital identity cards in the country. This, as explained in the publication, according to Starmer, would have a positive impact on reducing illegal migration. The certificate was supposed to be issued to every person who has the legal right to live in the UK.
