Labour plotters had already planned a series of marches before the Grenfell Tower fire – and now critics have accused the party of using the tragedy to cause further unrest. On Friday, hundreds of protesters descended on Whitehall, many carrying Socialist Worker placards reading “Tories have blood on their hands”. The march came after an attempt to storm Kensington town hall following a rally organised by Corbyn sympathiser Mustafa al-Mansur, who was previously a spokesman for the Finsbury Park Mosque.

Yesterday activists were in the streets again, chanting “go Jeremy Corbyn” and waving placards that said “defy Tory rule” outside Downing Street.

Jeremy’s politics are very personal and he has said repeatedly that he learns from people from talking to them directly. He wants to be their voice Jeremy Corbyn spokesman

The march was apparently to oppose any Tory alliance with the DUP, which is expected to take place ahead of the Queen’s Speech on Wednesday. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has already called for a million people to take to the streets of London to overthrow the Tories in a march on July 1. Union leaders are also reportedly plotting a “summer of discontent” to further destabilise the Government, with militants planning a series of strikes to bring about a “Red October with Jeremy Corbyn as our prime minister”.

Calls have grown louder following the Grenfell fire which Labour has blamed on Conservative cuts. Corbyn was pictured at the scene hugging victims and he later called for private properties to be requisitioned to be used as temporary accommodation for the surviving residents of the burned-out tower block, even though student accommodation had been offered. Yesterday a source close to Mr Corbyn denied he had tried to make political capital from the Grenfell tragedy. The source said the Labour leader was “amplifying what residents are saying and those who have lost friends, neighbours and loved ones, adding: “Their experience can’t be politicised, can it?” His spokesman added: “Jeremy’s politics are very personal and he has said repeatedly that he learns from people from talking to them directly. He wants to be their voice.” He said Labour would continue to support “all sorts of actions and demonstrations”.
