Predictions for Protests in 2025

2025 is expected to be a year marked by increased public protests, stemming from ongoing economic challenges such as low growth and stagnating living standards. The anticipated disappointment from voters, particularly those with expectations for change following the Labour government's election, may lead various groups to voice their discontent. Voters including pensioners, farmers, and workers in the public sector are likely to react negatively to austerity measures, especially with upcoming spending reviews and local elections. The potential rise of the Reform Party amidst this unrest suggests that protests may not only emerge from traditional left-leaning groups but could also gain traction on the right.
