Crowds gathered outside Downing Street to protest against “Boris Johnson’s coup against the democratic process” and hear combative speeches from anti-Brexit campaigners and opposition politicians on Saturday.

However, scores of pro-Brexit counter-protesters attempted to disrupt the rally and provoke those assembled, marching through the crowd holding a banner demanding the UK reverts to WTO rules, which some believe would be the default eventuality after a no-deal Brexit, and insulting the anti-Brexit demonstrators.

The anti-Brexit MP Anna Soubry said she was too frightened to speak due to their presence and left the demonstration after consulting with the police and organisers. “I’m a parliamentarian and I have a right to speak and I shouldn’t be frightened,” she said, “but it’s very, very, very disturbing, and I’m very frightened actually.”

The shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, who was escorted away from the rally by police after addressing the crowds, said it had been a bad week for Boris Johnson and that it was going to get “much worse”.
