Rishi Sunak is looking at new laws to clamp down on protests after violence blighted Armistice Day.
The Prime Minister will attempt to close legal loopholes that allow troublemakers to run riot during protests - and empower police to take action at demonstrations.The new push will come after Armistice Day saw right-wing thugs attack and injure police officers - and pro-Palestine marchers display offensive placards including racial abuse aimed at Sunak and Suella Braverman.
Duncan, 48, of West Lothian, was charged with being drunk and disorderly - and Jordan, 47, of Hounslow, was charged with the assault of an emergency worker.The charges are the first after 145 protesters were arrested and nine police officers were injured in clashes between far-right and Pro-Palestine groups on Saturday.All seven individuals will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
