Britain’s biggest police force has been accused of enforcing a blanket ban on protest amid the fallout after the handling of the Sarah Everard vigil.Anna Birley from Reclaim These Streets told MPs on Wednesday that senior officers from the Metropolitan Police had been obstructive to organisers and refused to engage with them over the event.
A security incident at London’s Gatwick Airport prompted the evacuation of much of the South Terminal as authorities investigated. Passengers were urged to remain calm, with safety being prioritized. Simultaneously, London's Metropolitan Police conducted a controlled explosion near the US Embassy after discovering a suspicious package, closing nearby areas as a precaution. Both incidents heightened security concerns, with investigations ongoing and affected areas remaining cordoned off for public safety.
