Hundreds of masked protesters blocked roads into the Port of Dover for hours in an apparently well-organised demonstration; Dover District Council leader Kevin Mills criticized police for arriving slowly, saying the disruption affected travelers and the port. Kent Police reported no arrests and described the event as spontaneous. Ministers condemned the behaviour, and the protest was linked by Hope Not Hate to the Patriot Platform network, with some far-right figures praising it online.

Union chief praises Seattle officers' swift response to Bite of Seattle shooting

After the Bite of Seattle mass shooting, SPOG President Kent Loux defended officers’ rapid actions, praising their rushing toward the gunfire and their first-aid/triage training that helped victims and helped detain a suspect. The city faced scrutiny over delayed public updates, with questions about who directed communications. A 15-year-old was arrested and investigators say another shooter may remain at large; two handguns were recovered (a third found later). Loux cited state laws restricting questioning of juvenile suspects without an attorney and urged changes to those laws.
