Tory conference: Rally takes on cost-of-living crisis

A NOISY demonstration wound through the streets of Blackpool on Saturday to protest outside Conservative Party’s spring conference.

Sacked workers from P&O Ferries were among trade unionists and campaigners who banged drums, pots and pans, blew whistles and chanted after marching from the front to the Tories’ Winter Gardens venue.

The rally coincided with Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s speech to the conference, when he shocked even lifelong Tories by comparing Ukraine’s battle against Russian invaders with Britain’s decision to leave the EU.
