Today I spoke again at another huge national march for Palestine.

The ceasefire has given Gaza a chance to breathe. But we will not stop until there's real peace and justice.

Until those guilty of genocide face justice.

Until Israel’s occupation ends.

Until Palestine is free.

Richard Burgon speaking at the national march for Palestine on 11 October.
