Demonstrators have smashed windows at the office building Millbank Tower in central London.
Amid increasingly violent scenes, a number of protestors repeatedly kicked and broke in the ground floor windows of Millbank Tower. The building contains within its 30 floors the heaquarters of the Conservative Party.
A onlooking crowd chanting “Tory scum!” and “No ifs, no buts — no education cuts” cheered the demonstrators. Some reports suggest around a dozen people have managed to break into the building whilst others suggest a fire was lit outside Millbank Tower, near to where protesters were due to gather for a rally.
Earlier today, Nick Clegg, Lib Dem leader and Deputy Prime Minister, came under strong criticism in the House of Commons during Prime Minister’s Questions.
You can watch a video, via Sky News, of protestors smashing the ground floor windows.
