It was the biggest demonstration in Manchester in years. As well as tens of thousands of local people, 100 coaches came from across the country - from London, Cardiff, Brighton, Bristol, Sunderland, Newcastle and elsewhere.
But we didn't stop there. Everyday the Tories have been in Manchester we have been too. Last night over 8,000 people came to the Manchester Cathedral to hear Jeremy Corbyn, Natalie Bennett, Owen Jones and others at the 'People's Post' rally organised by the CWU and People's Assembly. At the same time 2,000 people rammed into the Manchester Academy for the Beat Back! gig with Super Furry Animals, Charlotte Church and Public Service Broadcasting.
Hundreds marched to the conference centre to save our NHS earlier today, Disabled People Against Cuts held a direct action outside the entrance to the conference centre & countless other events and actions have taken place.
