Pro-choice campaigners demonstrated in Westminster on Saturday against the Conservative Party's new ally in UK government – Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

"DUP go away. Anti-choice. Anti-gay," around a dozen protesters from the London Irish Abortion Rights Campaign chanted in Parliament Square.

The DUP is anti-abortion and opposed to same-sex marriage.

Similarly, hundreds of people gathered opposite Downing Street, London on Friday to call on Prime Minister Theresa May to step down following the hung parliament after the general election.

May’s Conservative Party failed to retain majority in snap UK polls and was forced to talk to DUP about a coalition.
