Minister close to tears as she speaks to anti-Brexit protesters in London

A minister was close to tears as she spoke to anti-Brexit protesters outside parliament.

Anna Soubry, minister for small business, said Britain made a "terrible mistake" voting to leave the EU.

Anti-Brexit protesters demonstrated against the government, chanting "there's no plan" and holding up signs about Boris Johnson.

Many people are angry following the result, as they feel like politicians on the Leave side lied to convince the public to vote to Leave.

The protest was arranged originally to take place in Trafalgar Square, but it has spilled over to Abingdon Green outside Parliament.

Earlier reports said that the protest had to be cancelled as it was too dangerous to have so many people involved.
