UPDATE: Trade unions were today banned from protesting outside the Liberal Democrat conference which gets under way in Liverpool this weekend. Union leaders slammed the ban as “outrageous”. The Lib Dems denied the ban was at their request, claiming the police had made the decision on “safety grounds”.
The police said the area around the Echo arena is “not suitable for protest of any size”, although demonstrations were allowed outside the venue during last year’s TUC conference and the National Rail Conference. The protestors will be expected to demonstrate from the entrance to Salthouse dock, hundreds of metres away.
