Overview

• Police estimated about 110,000 attended the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in Whitehall and roughly 5,000 joined the Stand Up To Racism counter‑protest.
• Officers reported assaults, projectiles thrown and attempts to breach cordons, deploying helmeted reinforcements and making at least nine arrests.
• More than 1,600 officers were on duty across London, with barriers and a sterile zone separating marches and set routes and finish times for both events.
• Robinson framed the demonstration as a defence of free speech and opposition to immigration, as supporter claims of more than a million attendees conflicted with police figures.
• Speakers and guests included Laurence Fox and other far‑right figures, with reports of addresses by Eric Zemmour and a video appearance by Elon Musk.
