Workers and young people in the UK speak on Gaza and Minneapolis

Tens of thousands took part in the 34th national demonstration on January 31 in London against the genocide of the Palestinians and the war on Gaza.

Socialist Equality Party members ran a stall at the Russell Square assembly point, distributing copies of the article “Trump administration threatens new war against Iran” and discussing the situation in the Middle East, the US invasion of Venezuela and threats against Greenland and Cuba, and the mass protests against Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) occupations and murders.
