Down at the #TrumpProtest in Parliament Square. Lots of the placards are handed out by the Socialist Workers' Party, Stop the War, and Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA). There's plenty of sheer obscenity. And large pockets where the smell of cannabis is overwhelming. #TrumpUKVisit

Some kind of song put together by the activists down at the #TrumpProtest. #TrumpUKVisit

The Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, @DawnButlerBrent, spoke at the #TrumpProtest in Parliament Square and managed to get the word "fuck" into her speech. So that was progressive and brave. #TrumpUKVisit

"Intersectional feminism" is a clap line at the #TrumpProtest.

A poem. "What About" is the title. #TrumpProtest

The #TrumpBabyBlimp is right in front of me here. It's not that impressive, I must say, not for the cosy. #TrumpProtest
