Remember the UCU/NUS rally and vigil is on Victoria Embankment. Start heading there now. Speakers start soon.

That must what all pushing and scuffling is for.

Wouldn't want to be stuck outside Parliament missing that...

from twitter "apparently people can get in and out of parliament square in the northwest corner - that's victoria street corner"

Protester being stretchered away with a head injury.

BBC reporting that they allowed people out of Parliament Square into Victoria Street, then decided to block them because of the large number of tasty targets down there.

Police officer thrown off when his horse bolted from a firecracker.

Female presenter making a conspicuous effort to emphasise that it's mostly peaceful.

Horses charging crowd now.
