Hard-Left activists: Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, the Young Communist League

Hard-Left activists including Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion and the Young Communist League target the Conservative party conference. Extinction Rebellion plans to ‘sabotage the economy' by staging rent strikes, halting tax payments and taking out bank loans they don't intend to repay

  • The Young Communist League carried a red banner saying 'Resist Tory Rule'
  • Protestors staged a funeral outside for the 'death' of the Belfast Agreement
  • Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil also protested in Manchester
  • The group's aim is to sabotage the economy they say is fueling the climate crisis 

Masked hard-Left activists were among hundreds of protesters who yesterday tried to ambush the Tory party conference.

Activists from the Young Communist League wore face coverings as they carried a red banner past the conference centre saying 'Resist Tory Rule'.

Hundreds of trade unionists also marched carrying hateful banners saying 'F*** the Tories: rebuild our railway' and 'Guy Fawkes had a point'.

Eco-zealots from Extinction Rebellion and protesters from offshoot Just Stop Oil also marched, as well as Bully XL dog owners who chanted: 'Muzzle Rishi, not our dogs!'

The government last month announced that it intends to add XL bullies to the banned breed types listed under Dangerous Dogs Act by the end of 2023.

At one point protesters staged a funeral outside the conference centre, which is surrounded by a ring of steel set up by police, to commemorate what they described as the death of the Belfast Agreement.

The demonstration was organised to coincide with the start of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Windsor Framework, an agreement signed with the EU earlier this year in an attempt to ease trading relations between the bloc and Northern Ireland.

In a procession outside the conference centre, the protesters carried a coffin while dressed in black and wearing white masks.

They gathered outside the conference, holding signs which read 'The Agreement: Killed by the Northern Ireland Protocol 1998-2021.
