Good morning. Tomorrow the streets of London will host the Together Alliance march, the coming together of a vast array of groups to protest against the rise of the far right in the UK. Trade unions, campaign groups, politicians and a long list of cultural figures spanning music, comedy and film will be there.
From musicians including Brian Eno and Self Esteem to actors including Christopher Eccleston and Maxine Peake, the support reflects a familiar pattern in British protest movements – moments when politics spills into culture, and vice versa, and a chance for people to demonstrate their progressive values.
