‘Revolutions are coming’: who are Youth Demand and what do they want?

New organisation behind protest outside Keir Starmer’s home have big plans for future political change

A new organisation calling itself Youth Demand has hit the headlines in recent weeks after spray painting the Labour party headquarters and the Ministry of Defence, as well as staging a protest outside Keir Starmer’s home.

Rows of children’s shoes were laid at the Labour leader’s front door in Kentish Town, in north London, at the beginning of the week. A banner surrounded by red handprints was hung outside the house he shares with his wife and children, with the words: “Starmer stop the killing.”
