Scotland Yard denied responsibility for covering the Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park during Saturday's pro-Palestinian march in London.

The monument, honouring the six million Jews killed by the Nazis, was concealed under a blue tarpaulin as thousands of demonstrators gathered in central London.

The Metropolitan Police clarified that the decision to cover the memorial was made by Hyde Park officials, not by them.

A former Tory MP and health minister has made a bold move by defecting to Labour.

Dr. Dan Poulter, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, who also works as a part-time mental health doctor in the NHS, expressed his reasons in an exclusive interview with the Observer.

He blasted the Conservatives, labeling them as a "nationalist party of the right" that has lost compassion and neglected the NHS.

Poulter announced his resignation from the Tory party and revealed his intention to align with Labour until the next election. He won't seek re-election but plans to advise Labour on mental health policies while focusing on his NHS work.
