Thousands turn out for long battle to save our planet

JEREMY CORBYN and John McDonnell joined tens of thousands of people yesterday as they marched through central London calling on governments to act on climate change.

Around 50,000 heard Labour leader Mr Corbyn call on those gathering for UN talks on climate change in Paris to “listen to the words of millions all around the world” who are saying it is possible to reduce emissions and protect the environment and our planet.

Mr Corbyn told crowds that the issues facing the world are “pollution, climate change, inequality, environmental refugees, war refugees and resource wars” and called for these issues to be addressed in Paris.
