March to Parliament Square
A mass demonstration is planned in London this Saturday against Theresa May's 'coalition of chaos' with the DUP.
The demonstration is organised by anti-austerity campaign The People's Assembly and is supported by every major trade union including Unite, Unison, GMB, PCS, NUT, RMT, TSSA, FBU, CWU.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who called for a million people to march against the Tories, will address the demonstration in Parliament Square alongside representatives from campaigns, community groups and other parties including the Green Party.
Organisers say the demonstration will be a "carnival of resistance" representing the huge "anger and distrust" towards the Conservative Party and DUP. The demonstration will also include live performances from DJ Shy FX, band Wolf Alice & friends, alternative LGBT+ club night organisers Sink the Pink, plus a special performance from Captain Ska who's song accusing Theresa May of being a 'Liar Liar' hit No.4 in the Official UK Top 40 Charts the week before the General Election. The People's Assembly say more "big name speakers and performers" will be announced later this week.
A minutes silence will be held for the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy followed by a minutes applause for the emergency services that responded.
Over 50 coaches have been filled form across the country to attend the demonstration.
Sam Fairbairn, National Secretary of the People's Assembly, said:
"Theresa May can find an extra £1Billion for the DUP but can't find the money to properly fund our NHS, or for decent housing, education and secure jobs for the rest of us. What's become blatantly clear is austerity is an idealogical choice not a necessity. It's time for a change and this demonstration is just the start of a huge campaign that won't stop until the greedy Tories are out of office."
John McDonnell MP said in a message to his supporters:
"The public have lost trust in Theresa May and the Conservatives. People are fed up with a pay freeze, poverty wages, an NHS in crisis, being shackled with lifelong debt and no secure home. The Tories had their chance and they've failed. It's up to everyone of us to make sure they step aside so we can have a Government that cares for the many not the few. Join me on the People's Assembly demonstration this Saturday"
Broadchurch star actress Julie Hesmondhalgh who is also backing the demonstration said:
"There has been a massive sea change lately, like the scales have fallen from the nation's eyes. It is time for a change. Time for a new government, a new society, a new way of living. An end to austerity. The time for socialism."
