Thousands of people have descended on Downing Street to protest against Theresa May and the possibility of a coalition between the Conservative Party and DUP.

Protesters swarmed to central London on Saturday afternoon chanting "ohhh Jeremy Corbyn" and waving placards that said "defy Tory rule".

The anti-May protest came amid increasing public unrest and followed two protests in Kensington and Downing Street in which activists demanded justice for the victims of the Grenfell Tower inferno.

Huge crowds were seen in Westminster as speakers including Labour MPs Angela Rayner and Rupa Huq took to the stage to address protesters.

Ms Rayner told the cheering crowds: "Well, well, well, what did Theresa May say? Coalition of chaos, if you voted for Labour, a weak leader.

"Look what we have now, a coalition of chaos under Theresa May and a weak leader.

"But you know what's worse than a Tory Government, a Tory Government propped up by the DUP".

She went on to attack the Conservatives for teaming up with the party, claiming the Tories "will sell their granny if it means they will stay in power".

She added there had been difficult days for Jeremy Corbyn but thanked the crowd for keeping him and the movement going.

On Facebook over 3,400 people were listed as attending Saturday's demo, titled Protest: No Coalition of Chaos with the DUP’.

The event was organised by Labour supporter and Guardian columnist Owen Jones, who wrote: “The Tories launched a general election to destroy Labour.

"They waged a campaign of fear against a campaign of hope. And they failed.

“Now a disgraced Theresa May is trying to cling on to power with an alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party, the most extreme party in Parliament.”

Furious voters have been calling for Ms May's resignation following a disastrous election which saw the Tories lose their Parliamentary majority.

A Tory deal with Northern Irish party the DUP is set to be announced in the coming days.

Meanwhile hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of Kensington and Notting Hill on Friday evening amid mounting anger over the official response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

A second protest erupted later on Friday in Westminster in the wake of the horrific blaze, which is believed to have killed 58 people.

The Downing Street rally on Saturday was also joined by some protesters marching in support of the Grenfell Tower residents.
