  • Thousands of demonstrators gathered in central London to protest Donald Trump's state visit to the UK.
  • The protest featured Trump impersonators, Palestine flags, and chants such as "Free Palestine" and "Donald Trump, you’re a clown. You’re not welcome in our town."
  • Organised by the Stop Trump Coalition, the march saw MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn speak, with over 1,600 police officers deployed across the city.
  • While Trump was engaged in official duties at Windsor Castle, a YouGov poll revealed 45 per cent of Britons believed his invitation was wrong, with only 19 per cent holding a favourable view of him.
  • The atmosphere was largely upbeat with costumes and caricatures, though minor clashes occurred with pro-Trump individuals, requiring police intervention.
