TOMMY Robinson's “Unite the Kingdom” protest is a “klaxon call” for MPs to address immigration and other public concerns, a Cabinet minister has said.

A total of 24 people were arrested and 26 police officers were injured, including four who were seriously hurt, at the far-right activist's event in London on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said.

Between 110,000 and 150,000 people turned out for the protest, far exceeding the estimates of organisers, while around 5,000 anti-racism campaigners mounted a counter-protest. People were arrested for a range of offences, including affray, violent disorder, assault and criminal damage, after both events had begun largely without incident.
