RENT strikers and politicians linked arms on Saturday to march on Downing Street in their hundreds in protest over the Conservatives’ Housing Bill.

Protesters came from across London to demand a withdrawal of the proposed plans, which would end secure tenancies and stop the building of new social housing. 

Among those demonstrating was Green Party leader Natalie Bennett and Lambeth council leader Lib Peck, as well as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers Corbyn.
