Thousands across Britain to say Tories are not fit to govern in People’s Assembly protest
People's Assembly Against Austerity stage a "yellow vest"-inspired rally in central London calling for a general election back in 2019

THOUSANDS of people from all across Britain will gather in London tomorrow in a national demonstration calling for the Tories to be booted out of government.

A statement from protest organisers the People’s Assembly said: “The Tories have criminally failed us during the pandemic. Their corruption and dangerous incompetence has been irrefutable.

“And the consequences have been devastating. They are #NotFitToGovern.”

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who will be speaking at the rally, urged the public to join the demonstration.

He said: “We’re calling for real action to save our schools and end marketisation of education and NHS.”

The demonstration is demanding the renationalisation of key industries, sacking of corrupt politicians, ending bosses’ attempts to fire and rehire workers, decent housing for all, combating  institutional racism and action on the climate emergency.

The protest has been supported by unions such as the Communication Workers Union, Aslef, Unite and the National Education Union, as well as campaign and community groups.

A Unite statement said: “Our communities have suffered the greatest hits from Covid in the world. The loss of lives, and jobs, the economic pain, have been horrific.

“People have given and are still giving so much in this time of crisis, they deserve so much better than this government.”

And We Own It said: “Throughout the pandemic, we’ve seen clearly just how damaging privatisation really is.

“Enough is enough. We demand our services are brought back into public ownership.”

Speakers will also include Labour MPs Barry Gardiner and Richard Burgon, Kill the Bill official Delia Mattis, artist Lowkey, Stop the War Coalition’s Lindey German and trade union representatives.

Protesters will gather outside the BBC in central London at 12 noon and march to Parliament.
