AS BORIS JOHNSON tried to get away with cynical manoeuvres inside Parliament, activists from Tower Hamlets joined thousands of protestors outside Parliament – at a demonstration called just hours earlier.
John McDonnell MP addressed protestors, with Diane Abbott MP lining up to speak next, framed in a small sea of Tower Hamlets faces – with the Tower Hamlets Labour Party banner looking down on them (above).
Meanwhile, Tower Hamlets Momentum had also brought their banner out to SW1A again – this time joining up with students from Queen Mary’s Labour Club (below).
Further protests are planned for the weekend – in London and elsewhere around the UK. A parliamentary petition has been signed by over one million people. While the protests go on outside Parliament, Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to lead a fight inside Parliament to stop Boris Johnson taking Britain out of the EU without a structured “deal”.
