AdvertisementRiot police moved into Westminster this afternoon after officers were attacked by anti-vaccination protesters as traffic was brought to a standstill amid violent scenes in front of the Houses of Parliament. The force tweeted: 'A number of officers continue to respond to a demonstration in Parliament Square, Westminster. Earlier, the force had said: 'We are responding to a demonstration in Parliament Square this afternoon. 'Officers are on scene, speaking with those taking part in the protest and looking to ease congestion as soon as possible.' This follows a contact with Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who subsequently tested positive for the virus on Saturday.
