Sixty Conservative Members of Parliament are writing to the mayor of London in objection to a recent pro-Palestine protest hosted at the Cenotaph.

Pro-Palestine activists orchestrated the demonstration on Saturday, setting up a stage for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with influential figures like former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressing the crowd.
