Police made several arrests as dozens of Just Stop Oil protesters marched on Parliament Square.

Footage from May 3 shows several activists being frogmarched into the back of police vans.

The group's Twitter account has tweeted about changes to the Public Order Act that come into force on May 3: "We are 9 hours into new, repressive anti-protest laws in the UK, where protesters can be stopped and searched by police, and you can be imprisoned for six months for 'locking on' — which includes linking arms.

"This is the Public Order Act. Welcome to police state Britain."

The changes now state: "Section 7 creates a new offence of interference with the use or operation of key national infrastructure, which includes road, rail and air transport infrastructure, oil, gas and electricity infrastructure and newspaper printing infrastructure."
