Activists from Stand Up To Racism Scotland gather in Glasgow's George Square, in a counter protest to a far-right rally, September 7, 2024

MICK LYNCH, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn are among those set to speak at a counter-protest against far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson next week.

Thousands are expected to join the Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) rally in London on Sunday in defiance of a march organised by the English Defence League founder.

The last time Mr Robinson marched through the capital in July, he attracted a crowd of up to 20,000 far-right supporters who chanted racist and Islamophobic slogans.
