"Speaking to former Tory councillor and conspiracy theorist William Coleshill, the protester said: Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated, someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer. Coleshill pushed back, saying the Labour leader should instead face trial and be lawfully executed. The clip, filmed among the estimated 110,000-strong crowd, has been widely shared online and triggered furious reactions. A jail sentence is in the post for this chump! one user posted. Another added: Hope the Met get this man."
"The demonstration, billed as one of the biggest right-wing rallies in decades, began near Waterloo Bridge before thousands marched to Whitehall. Supporters, many wrapped in Union Jacks and England flags, held banners and chanted as they made their way through the capital. Some displayed pictures of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead in Utah earlier this week. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: A number of officers have been assaulted. They were assaulted with kicks and punches."
