How Tommy Robinson's protest gained so much support

View descriptionShare

On Saturday, up to 150,000 people took to the streets of London to join a rally organised by far right activist Tommy Robinson. The size of the crowd took the authorities by surprise. David, Kate and Fran are joined by Professor Jon Tonge to discuss the increase in support for anti immigration protests. They also discuss support for Reform on the day a significant Tory MP defected to Nigel Farage's party. 

The trio analyse the challenging path to secure a nomination for the Irish Presidency. Later, they explore the legacy aspects of the trial of Soldier F for two murders on Bloody Sunday.
