Hundreds of campaigners, who are also protesting about the Grenfell Tower fire fallout and the Windrush scandal, marched to Trafalgar Square this afternoon.

People, some with their faces covered, let off flares that filled the London streets with thick smoke.

Many of those taking part were holding red flags with the communist hammer and sickle symbol.

Once at the famous London landmark, some clambered on top of the square’s monuments and chanted anti-Government slogans.
