HUNDREDS of women marched through London at the weekend in protest against a proposed Conservative deal with the DUP.

Organised by women's activist groups, the rally called people onto the streets to show their opposition to the Northern Ireland party which is opposed to same-sex marriage.

Many of those taking part in the march, which assembled at Parliament Square before marching to Whitehall and then on to Downing Street, carried placards bearing anti-DUP messages which suggested a Tory/DUP alliance would put the rights of women in jeopardy.

The crowd also chanted "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, no DUP, no way".

Organisers said they were marching "in support of the right to access abortion in NI and against a Tory working agreement with no democratic mandate with a political group known to promote policy which restricts the rights of women and LGBT people and is known for links to far right politics".
