“Shut the Country Down”: Brits Urged to Strike for a Week to Send Starmer a Message. A controversial call has emerged urging the entire UK to stop working, studying and even shopping for a full week. The proposed national strike is framed as a protest against Keir Starmer’s handling of immigration and national priorities. While unlikely to mobilise the whole country, the message is loud and symbolic. It reflects a growing anger among voters who feel ignored, sidelined and pushed to breaking point. Whether fringe or forecast, the idea exposes just how deep public frustration with Labour’s leadership is becoming.

The UK has been urged to “go on strike for a week” as part of a protest against Keir Starmer’s Government. Staunchly anti-immigration group The Great British National Strike is calling all Britons to “stay at home” for a full week from February 2 to 9.
The call to rebel is not limited to workers either with the organisers also asking the masses to stop “education” and “shopping”. The mass protest is being organised by right wing activist Richard Donaldson, who believes “native Brits must always come first”.
The movement organiser, who suggests followers donate £1,000 every week on his website, posted a graphic of the protest details along with a long passage of text explaining why “fixing immigration” is not “anywhere near as complicated as politicians pretend”.

Mr Donaldson suggests Britain should leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and “depart all” illegal migrants, foreign nationals who commit violent or sexual crimes including dependants and migrants who have been out of work for a fixed period.
He also wants to deport all migrants “who arrive without a job” and all foreign nationals “on terrorism watchlists”. He added: “Then pause all immigration applications temporarily while we assess the damage and restore control.
