Mcdonnell calls for mass protest

JOHN MCDONNELL has called on his hard-left union allies to encourage a million protesters to take to the streets to force another election and oust Theresa May from Downing Street.

The shadow chancellor reportedly told trade union bosses that Labour needed “every union mobilised” and for people to “get out on the streets”. Left-wing groups are planning a mass protest in London on July 1 to demand Mrs May step aside after she failed to win a majority at the General Election.

Mr Mcdonnell is quoted by the Morning Star newspaper as having urged the Trades Union Congress and other unions to mobilise their members, saying: “We need people doing everything they can to ensure the election comes as early as possible.”
