Chants of ‘Boris out’ and ‘Tories out’ rang through Newcastle city centre as protesters gathered to highlight the cost of living crisis.
The rally, organised by the People's Assembly, was held at Grey's Monument on Saturday afternoon to draw attention to the financial difficulties being felt by millions of households due to the rise in energy, food and petrol prices as well as an upcoming National Insurance hike.
Around 100 to 200 people turned out, with placards reading "We won't pay for the crisis", " Cost of living crisis, we can't pay" and "Johnson out".
