Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered at lunchtime near to All Saint’s park on Oxford Road to protest against the Conservatives as the the party conference kicked off down the road, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The prime minister told the Sunday Telegraph the United Kingdom would spend hundreds of millions of pounds on equipment and resources for special forces.
He said it was essential to meet the terrorist threat facing the UK. I am trying to get for Britain the things that we need.
Last month, Mr Cameron announced an RAF-operated drone had killed two Britons linked to IS in Syria, describing the action as an “act of self defence”. Mr Cameron will consider relaxing the rules on collective responsibility for the referendum campaign.
In his strongest comment to date on the crisis at the German vehicle maker, Cameron was quoted as saying in an interview that Volkswagen “was wrong to break the rules” over emissions.
His intervention could harm Mr Cameron’s attempt to wring concessions from Britain’s European Union partners ahead of the in/out referendum to be held by 2017.
However, Downing Street strategists are determined the issue will not dominate this week’s conference and there is a few concern that Conservatives may underestimate the threat posed by Mr Corbyn, who is seen as a joke by many Tory MPs. As is always the case at Conservative conferences, the leader will address the party faithful on the final day (Wednesday), bringing it to a close.
“Twenty years from now it is going to seem freakish that we were having this argument about whether to merge our political system with the rest of the European Union in order to have a say over what might be by then a quarter or a fifth of our total exports”. It is suddenly becoming clear that actually you can not paper over the cracks and say “it’s alright, it’s only the British”.
“Why do we believe we’ve lost our national mojo?”
A few observers have suggested that Britain and the USA would be forced to retreat from strikes against Isil in the face of Russian Federation aggression. Extracts of “Call Me Dave“, serialised by the Daily Mail, made the headlines a few weeks back, with allegations of Mr Cameron’s university days.
He appeared to have strengthened his views on Mr Putin’s tactics, telling reporters that Russian Federation was backing the “butcher” Assad through air strikes which are not exclusively targeted at Isil militants in Syria.
The forces would get extra recruitment if they requested it, he added.
The 20 new Protector drones will be capable of flying longer distances and carrying more advanced weapons and equipment.
The RAF’s fleet of Reaper drones will be more than doubled, to over 20, and upgraded with the very latest technology in the new Protector designation. It’s only the right thing to do if there are no other avenues you can take. “Because if we try to put to the British people a package which is anything less, we will get a raspberry from them”.

It has also been given a shot in the arm by Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour leader and the infighting which preceded and followed his victory.
