MAY DAY marches and rallies continued across Britain today with Palestine solidarity prominent in the traditional celebrations.
Mobilisations took place in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and Salford in Greater Manchester, where Palestine flags and banners marched alongside trade union banners.
In Chesterfield, Dima al-Shami, who was born in Gaza but grew up and lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, made an impassioned plea for protests and demands for a ceasefire in Gaza to continue and intensify.
The struggle for Palestinian freedom has become a defining issue for everyone committed to justice, democracy and peace, says PETER LEARY ahead of the Stop the War International Conference on Saturday
The people of Palestine need our solidarity in actions not words – trade unionists must give them our full support in their darkest hour, writes DANIEL KEBEDE
