The PSNI has charged the 31-year-old deputy leader of far right party Britain First over a speech she made at a Belfast protest.

Jayda Fransen was arrested by police in Bromley, London, on Saturday and flown to Belfast to be interviewed by detectives at Musgrave Police Station.

Police said they have now charged Ms Fransen with "using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour" in relation to a speech made at the Northern Ireland Against Terrorism Rally at City Hall on August 6.

It is understood she has now been released from police custody and a protest that had been organised in answer to her arrest has been cancelled.

All charges are to be reviewed by the PPS.
