An anti-Conservative protester may be prosecuted after his amplifiers were seized from him in Westminster, police have said. At around 1pm on Tuesday, a group of officers swooped in on "Stop Brexit Man" Steve Bray. Mr Bray, from Port Talbot, was told that under the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act, which came into force earlier in the day, he was forbidden from holding a noisy protest within a designated area outside the Houses of Parliament.
