One female MP told me today that she hopes this is the catalyst for reopening the discussion of sexual harassment in parliament, which in her view still hasn’t been fully addressed.

The Labour Welsh Government currently has a ‘cooperation deal’ with Plaid Cymru in the Senedd, so the new interim leader chosen tomorrow has ramifications not just for Plaid Cymru but for the governance of Wales.

Sunak defends new protest law after police 'regret' coronation arrests | ITV News

Rowley says police had intelligence that people were going to use rape alarms, loud hailers and paint to disrupt coronation, scare horses and vandalise monuments. He says such was the seriousness that Home Sec and Mayor of London were briefed late on Friday night.

Rowley clearly cross at coverage. “Much of the ill-informed commentary on the day is wholly inaccurate - for example protest was not banned. I want to be absolutely clear - our activity was targeted at those we believed were intent on causing serious disruption and criminality”.

Conservative MP David Davis, who voted against the government’s Public Order Act, says there is a problem both with the law itself and the interpretation of it. He wants the Home Affairs Committee to examine the law and help chiefs of police understand its application.

Metropolitan Police 'regrets' arrest of anti-monarch group leader and five others before coronation

“I think it is the right legislation” he says, in regard to the govt’s Public Order Act, which the Met has says it was applying at the time. He stresses that the police are operationally independent of government. In other words, ‘this one’s on the Met to explain.’

The government remains supportive of the Met Police this morning. “They make really difficult decisions in a split second” says government minister Neil O’Brien. “Doubtless mistakes will be made but overall I think the police did a very good job”.

UPDATE: The Met has clarified that it is not saying it regrets making the arrests. What the statement says is… “We regret that those six people arrested were unable to join the wider group of protesters in Trafalgar Square and elsewhere on the procession route.” Clear?

246

This isn’t really about the coronation now. Take out the specific subject of the protest (monarchy) and replace with an issue you care about. Would you expect to be arrested for having a placard with your favoured slogan on it? Serious Qs for principle of policing by consent.

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops politically tomorrow. PM expressed his support for police today and expect that won’t radically change, given govt passed the laws in question. But Labour have been careful not to criticise police during coronation. Will that change?

NEW: In a statement tonight

@RepublicStaff

say they will be taking further action against the Met. “Their actions will have a chilling effect on peaceful protest and have shattered any trust that may have existed between the police and protesters. We will be taking this further”

There have been concerns about new police powers to stop ‘disruptive’ protests, but what the Met seem to be admitting here is a serious failure in the application/interpretation of that law. The force will now face questions about why officers were quite so quick/eager to arrest.

Lots of pouring over exact vote shares and projected outcomes in a general election, but what today gives Labour is momentum. These sort of results restore much of the morale which the party leached in recent years. That matters in terms of motivating troops & setting narrative.
