Unite general secretary Len McCluskey has backed protestors occupying the London Stock Exchange.

Addressing the crowd gathered outside St Pauls in London, he said: “People here are standing up to protect the heritage that their mothers, fathers and grandfathers have built for them – so well done for everything you are doing.

“You speak for the millions of ordinary people that can’t be here. Don’t be disturbed by the attacks in the media. There are millions of people watching their television and wishing there were here with you.”
