Corbyn Criticised For Tory Protest By Own Side

Although never a “nasty party”, Scottish Labour did allow itself to be portrayed as having a sense of entitlement to political rule in Scotland and of failing to embrace devolution fully.

Security remains high at the conference with scores of police officers patrolling central Manchester, while marksmen are stationed on several high vantage point buildings around the area.

Chief Supt John O’Hare said: “Around 60,000 people took part in a demonstration and I would like to thank them for their co-operation”.

In the e-mail to members, Lord Feldman said: “You may be aware that a protest march planned by the TUC will take place on Sunday the 4th of October to coincide with the start of our Conference”. My attacker has been arrested and I have given a statement.

He said of the Tories: “What they’re doing is trying to destroy it”.

“And they [the guns] are used for their powerful sight, which is stronger than any pair of binoculars”, a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesperson told the Manchester Evening News.

Though huge numbers of protesters had travelled from other cities in the United Kingdom, many attendees were local people wishing to express their anger at the presence of the Conservatives in Manchester.

“The fact that only four arrests have been made throughout the day so far was particularly pleasing”.

But a former Conservative candidate was hit by an egg after protesters appeared to get angry at conference activists watching the rally, and a young woman waiting for a taxi was threatened with rape, according to reports. Journalists have also been targeted by a few in the crowd, including a Huffington Post reporter who was spat at.

Union leaders and officials from campaign groups including CND addressed a rally in the city centre before leading the procession.

CWU General Secretary Dave Ward said he would break the law to oppose the Tories’ union crackdown if he had to.

“Whoever the person that got spat in the face I’m sure it was a disgusting experience”.

A variety of slogans featured on mass-produced and home-made placards, including Cut War Not Welfare, Don’t Bomb Syria, No Cuts and Divine Discontent, Divine Disobedience.

And in what may be seen as a swipe at Prime Minister David Cameron’s refusal to reconsider the government’s proposed cuts to tax credits, Johnson will maintain that the Conservatives will protect the capital’s “hardest working and lowest paid” and promote “hope and aspiration”.
