Police have arrest 25 people after what is believed to be “the biggest demonstration ever against the far right” concluded in central London.

The Metropolitan Police arrested 18 people for supporting Palestine Action, two for climbing up the National Gallery columns, and five others.

It comes as an estimated half a million people joined a mass demonstration against the far-right in central London. A separate march organised by the Palestine Coalition then joined the Together Alliance for the rally on Whitehall.

Recap: NEU general secretary accuses some people in power of 'using racism to feather their own nests'

Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU) – speaking ahead of the Together demo, accused some of those in power of “using racism to feather their own nests”.

He said the “toxic climate that is taking place in society festers into schools”, where he said there has been “an increase in racist incidents, whether that’s directed towards teachers and support staff, or pupil-on-pupil, so it’s incredibly difficult at the moment”.
