Brexit: thousands turn out for 'Stop the Coup' protests across the UK
Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Britain and outside the gates of Downing Street in protest against Boris Johnson’s move to suspend parliament. Crowds brandished banners pledging to “defend democracy”, chanted “stop the coup” and waved EU flags in London in a bid to resist the parliament shutdown.
Demonstrators massed at protests in dozens of locations around the country including Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Brighton, Swansea, Bristol and Liverpool.

Speaking in Glasgow’s George Square, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told the crowd: “I’m proud to be here with all of you supporting that, to say to Boris Johnson no way, it’s our parliament. No way do you take us out without a deal – we will stop you and give the people their rights and their say to determine their future.”
Following the rally outside Downing Street, dozens of protesters blocked traffic at Trafalgar Square by sitting in the road, while others marched towards Buckingham Palace.
