UK policing minister warns of consequences for anti-migrant protest agitators
Sarah Jones told MPs that disruptive agitators would face consequences, while broader political disputes around local government reorganization and public services continued in Parliament.
Policing minister Sarah Jones said some anti-migrant protesters were “intimidating and thuggish,” and she warned that those responsible should expect to face consequences, according to Guardian Economics’ live UK politics updates.
The remarks were delivered in the context of ongoing disruption around Portsmouth, with Jones scheduled to make a statement to MPs on the issue.
The same parliamentary update stream also highlighted concerns from council leaders and opposition parties about local government reorganization plans, including claims that a proposed U-turn could create significant uncertainty for staff and risk essential services and vulnerable people.
