You can be held for up to 28 days without charge if you’re suspected of terrorism offences.
I’m not aware of anti terror laws being used against protestors, but the last govt introduced extremely strict anti protest laws under which non violent protestors have been given up to 2 year prison sentences.

There was never going to be a Ukraine deal, the whole thing was a performance to make it look like zelenskys fault and create drama and ratings - Trump: “this is going to be great television”
It also feels like it was all planned. From his time on TV Trump knows a lot about creating drama. First we have “he’s a dictator”, everyone expects Trump to be against Ukraine.

Trump even tells us “that’s why I let it go on so long… its going to make great television”.
The whole thing was about telling the story that Trump is the strong peace seeking negotiator and it all fell through because zelensky won’t be reasonable and is trying to take advantage of the US who he doesn’t respect.
