London protests over Unionist govt deal

Protesters have arrived in central London in opposition to the minority government's support from the socially conservative Democratic Unionist Party.

Several hundred protesters have gathered in central London to voice their anger at Prime Minister Theresa May's government and her alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party.

On Saturday, people carrying placards reading anti-DUP and pro-Jeremy Corbyn messages basked in the sun in Parliament Square one day after a shock election result returned a hung parliament.

Organisers from Stand Up To Racism and the Stop The War Coalition spoke to the crowd, who cheered at the mention of the Labour leader's name.

Musicians performed to the protesters, who seemed in good spirits. One organiser led chants of "racist, sexist, anti-gay, the DUP has got to go".
