  • The event, billed as “Unite the Kingdom,” featured Union and England flags, anti‑immigration slogans and tributes to slain US activist Charlie Kirk.
  • Clashes erupted near restricted areas separating rival groups, with officers reporting kicks, punches and thrown bottles, flares and other projectiles.
  • Investigators are identifying further suspects after reporting 26 injured officers, four seriously, and warn more prosecutions are expected.
  • International figures amplified the rally, with Elon Musk addressing the crowd by video and appearances or support from Steve Bannon, Éric Zemmour and AfD MEP Petr Bystron.
