On Tuesday, the Home Office published the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill. It seems like a wonderfully scary piece of legislation, parts of which are aimed at resticting the right to protest in the UK. The legislation is pretty specific - The police can now intervene if a protest is going to have an 'impact'. So you can now protest in the UK as long as it has no impact. Which is sort of the point.
There's some other stuff here. I realise the nature of my sources, but I can't find much reporting on it.
"On Tuesday, the Home Office published the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill. It covers a wide range of areas, from sentencing to digital information. But it has a specific section on the policing of protests. And the function of this section is simple: It aims to silence them."

"The bill also allows for police to impose conditions such as start and finish times and maximum noise levels on static protests – powers officers already have in relation to marches."
"Kevin Blowe, campaigns coordinator of the police monitoring group Netpol, criticised the report as 'alarming and illiberal” and “essentially a series of recommendations on how you can massively expand surveillance on protest movements at a time when the government has decided that it’s going to crack down on those protests'"
