Thousands are set to protest against George Osborne's Budget today as part of a national day of action called by the People's Assembly.

Across Britain marches, rallies and festivals will take place demanding a people's budget for Britain.

People's Assembly national secretary Sam Fairbairn warned that the Chancellor "will be announcing another round of cuts and privatisation, demonstrating that despite the so-called recovery the government remains committed to dismantling the welfare state and all gains working people have fought for."
