Daniel Day has been charged with causing a public nuisance and trespassing after climbing Big Ben barefoot and holding a Palestine flag. He spent over 16 hours there before being brought down by emergency services. During the incident, he communicated with negotiators, asserting his safety and intention to descend on his terms. Security concerns were raised as videos suggested he accessed the site without encountering security, prompting calls for accountability from MPs regarding security measures around Parliament, leading to the cancellation of tours following the incident.
I will come down on my own terms, I have said this. But right now I am saying I am safe. If you come towards me you are putting me in danger and I will climb higher.
Every day in Parliament I see dozens of armed police officers patrolling Portcullis House and the parliamentary estate. Where were they today?
