Looks like the crowd is starting to thin out a little bit at the Britain First demo. Police have still blocked off the main group of counter protesters, which currently includes this mini rave. @MENnewsdesk

Both sets of protesters are still at St Peter’s Square. A few police have moved from between the groups elsewhere, possibly to prepare for the protesters to disperse. @MENnewsdesk

Police aren’t letting anyone pass from one side of St Peter’s Square to the other, to stop the two sets of protesters meeting. You might be able to hear chanting and drumming from counter protesters in the background. @MENnewsdesk

Britain First supporters and most counter protesters are being separated by barriers at St Peter’s Square. On Lower Mosley Street, another group of counter protesters is being kept separate from a small number of Britain First supporters who have moved here. @MENnewsdesk

There have been a few different chants so far, including ‘Eng-er-land’, one supporting Tommy Robinson and one not exactly supporting Keir Starmer. Plenty of England flags being waved ahead of the protest. Hard to know numbers at the moment but a few more are joining @MENnewsdesk
