Thousands of trade unionists and health service activists will unite in central London today to welcome heroic campaigners on the People’s March for the NHS when they arrive in Trafalgar Square.

Horrified by the Tories and their Liberal Democrat collaborators’ destruction of the NHS, the marchers decided to fight for its future.

For three weeks the doughty marchers have trekked 300 miles from Jarrow in the north-east to London.
