Hundreds of pro and anti-Brexit protesters have gathered in Parliament Square for separate demonstrations, leading to clashes and a strong police presence in Westminster.
Scotland Yard said 16 people had been arrested by 6.30pm on Saturday after about 200 people joined a pro-Brexit demonstration organised by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance while the March for Change rally took place in Parliament Square.
Speaking at the anti-Brexit rally, Labour and Co-operative MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle branded Brexit as “evil” in a passionate speech.
Meanwhile, Green Party co-leader Sian Berry has praised the work of opposition MPs for proposing and passing a Bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit prior to the suspension of Parliament.
