Overview

• Met Police estimated roughly 110,000 participants at the central London march, with about 5,000 at a counter-protest.
• The event was organized and led by Tommy Robinson, with placards calling for tougher asylum rules and chants targeting Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
• Steve Bannon attended, and other international right-wing figures were announced as speakers, signaling the rally’s transnational backing.
• Organizers promoted far higher numbers on social media, including a claim of more than one million attendees that conflicts with police estimates.
• A large policing operation, reported at around 1,600 officers including reinforcements from outside London, kept groups apart as police noted attempts to breach barriers in Westminster.
