Reform UK MP Lee Anderson has alleged that a group of masked protestors who have joined a women and children’s demonstration outside the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf are members of ‘Antifa’ (short for ‘anti-fascist’), a loosely affiliated collection of activists known for its militant opposition to right-wing ideology.
“Credit to the police for acting quickly to chase this filth from our streets,” he said in a post on X.
The political allegiances of the masked demonstrators has not been independentally verified.
