Grenfell Tower protesters march against government in 'Day of Rage'

Large numbers of demonstrators are set to descend on Westminster as part of the protest, which has been organised by the Movement for Justice By Any Means Necessary (MfJ).

Themes will include anti-austerity and the Brexit vote, but it's been claimed those at the heart of The Day of Rage have switched the main focus to last week's inferno tragedy - which claimed dozens of lives.

"It will inevitably push risk to other areas of policing, potentially with significant impact", he wrote.

While some images appear to show people marching peacefully while holding signs calling for "justice for Grenfell Tower", others show scuffles involving officers.

Zac Goldsmith, the re-elected MP for Richmond Park, criticised the protest organisers for putting pressure on authorities.

On the event page, 387 people have said they are attending the demonstration, with almost 1,000 more interested in protesting.

However, the march from west London to parliament was relatively peaceful.

"We march because Justice for Grenfell can't be won while this rotten government clings to power".

"We've felt our power".

The protest will coincide with the Queen's speech and has been created to "shut down London", according to the event page on Facebook.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said people could be angry but sent a message to protesters: "Everyone planning to demonstrated against Theresa May's government over the next few weeks, it is vital that these protests are peaceful".

The Metropolitan Police, whose officers were seen scouring Parliament Square today ahead of the ceremony, now have around 250 officers a day working on the investigation into the Grenfell Tower Blaze, which some have accused the protesters of "hijacking".

The ClementJames Centre, which has been helping those displaced by the fire, earlier shunned the movement as opportunistic.

"There has been a 'Day of Rage" announced for Wednesday, trying to bring London to a standstill, ' a spokesman said.

London Socialist Party is hosting a Facebook event called "May Must Go!" He urged protesters to "follow the lead of Gandhi". If it was rich people living there, they would get sprinklers, cameras - everything'.

"We can not emphasise enough how against this numerous affected residents we've spoken to are and they do not want their grief hijacked for any violent or destructive means", the Clement James Centre said in a statement released on Twitter.

Stand Up To Racism, which doesn't start until 6pm, are against the Conservatives and DUP parties working together.

Protesters brandishing placards chanted: "What do we want?"
