London, UK. 16th July 2017. Dawn Butler, Labour MP for Brent and Shadow Minister for Diverse Communities speaking at the rally after hundreds of parents, children, teachers and others marched from Embankment down Whitehall to Parliament Square in a protest against unfair cuts in school funding. The 'Carnival Against Cuts' was organised by parents in the 'Fair Funding for All Schools' campaign and supported by the NUT. Funding for state education has not kept up with the increase in pupil numbers, and the changes to the National Funding Formula will mean huge cuts in teaching staff and learning support in more deprived areas, particularly in the inner cities. Campaigners want a real terms increase in funding per pupil for all schools rather than diverting resources from some schools to benefit others. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
