Social media users were baffled by the large escort, describing it as “a tremendous waste of police manpower”.

I can’t understand how this is a good use of the few police officers we have.”

Asked whether the bizarre escort was related to Extinction Rebellion, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “On security issues, that is one for the Met Police, rather than us.”
