When Keir Starmer last gave a speech outside Downing Street, on the day he announced he would be resigning, part of his speech was almost drowned out by the sound of the Ode to Joy, the EU anthem, being played in Whitehall by the veteran anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray. Bray had done this several times before to prime ministers speaking from a lectern outside No 10. But he won’t be doing that today. Yesterday the Metropolitan police put this announcement on social media. Conditions are in place on Whitehall tomorrow (Monday, 20 July). Anyone assembling near the Downing Street gates to observe events linked to the new Prime Minister must not use any amplified noise equipment and must stay within the shaded area. These conditions are in place between 10:30 – 13:30. In response, Bray has set up shop outside Buckingham Palace. But he told the BBC he would not be playing music when Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham head there for their audiences with the king.
