Rain or shine - it doesn’t matter. It’s time for a new chapter in British politics.

.@RosieisaHolt:
“That was too noisy - we will have to arrest you all after the show”
.@ManduReid:
“We do not have to accept the derelict leadership we have been saddled with”.
“We are going to FIGHT. We are going to mobilise, we are going to organise, we are going to #StopTheRot!”
Charlie Whelton of @libertyhq:
“Stop and search; restricting citizenship; controlling the electoral commission; cracking down on protest - This is a power grab the likes of which we have never seen”.
“This government wants a society where justice is not for all of us”.
.@catherine_mayer:
“193,000 people have died with covid on their death certificate”
“How does Boris Johnson, who was fined for breaking the law, have the moral authority to lead on Covid?”
.@PeterTatchell:
“As a human rights campaigner for more than 5 decades, I know that the right to protest has made our country a better place to live and turned over many injustices”.
“We can’t let the government take that right away in our name.”
.@DavidLammy:
“When they told us not to march against apartheid, not to march against the decision to leave the EU, and today when they say it doesn’t matter that the PM breaks the rules, remember:
Don’t mourn. Organise”
.@DavidLammy:
“Today we look at Boris Johnson, we look at the travesty that has befallen #10 and our country, and we say
RESIGN NOW.”
.@MarinaPurkiss:
“In this country, makers of cat food are held to higher standards of truth telling than our Prime Minister”
.@supertanskiii:
“Politicising the term ‘woke’ is not the priority - the truth is our priority, eating and turning on the f***ing gas on is our priority”
.@supertanskiii: “We deserve better than Boris Johnson and so do all of those that died because of his policies.”
.@thomasbrake:
“We need to work together to ensure that all parties commit to wide-scale democratic reform to truly #StopTheRot!”
“That means #ProportionalRepresentation and House of Lords reform”
.@natalieben:
“What we desperately need to fix all of our other problems is DEMOCRACY - Boris Johnson holds far too much power with only 46% of the vote”.
“We are heading very fast towards autocracy, destroying the few democratic structures we have.”
.@natalieben: “History is not pre-written; IT IS MADE.”
“We are in an unstable situation environmentally politically and economically - all of us together have the power to build a different world, to build a different system”
We didn’t let the rain stop us. Thanks to all who made it today and those who were there in spirit ✊
We’re just getting started - the fight to get #JohnsonOut and restore our politics is just beginning. Support us below for more rallies & marches!
