"Rising Concerns Over Mob Rule and Threats Against UK Lawmakers"

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warns police of a "growing consensus that mob rule is replacing democratic rule", expressing concern over increasingly violent and intimidatory behavior targeting elected representatives, particularly in the context of safety concerns for MPs following the outbreak of the war in Gaza. The government has announced a new Democratic Policing Protocol to address these issues, while MPs have raised concerns about their safety and the impact on democratic processes.
