The Metropolitan Police will increase officer numbers in central London as supporters of Tommy Robinson gather for a 'Unite the Kingdom' event described as a Christmas carol service outside Downing Street. The gathering, scheduled for Saturday from 2pm with music and readings, has drawn counter-protests organised by Stand Up To Racism amid concerns during an already busy Christmas period. Robinson, whose legal name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, wrote on X that the event is a celebration rather than a political protest.
