Former Labour leader and now independent MP Jeremy Corby's plans to speak at a rally in Glasgow were cancelled due to Storm Bert. Mr Corbyn had planned to speak at a pro Palestine rally on Saturday (November 23).
Jeremy Corbyn was unable to attend a rally in Glasgow on Saturday after bad weather from Storm Bert scuppered his plans.
The Record reports that members of the crowd were told he was unable to attend the pro Palestinian march. Protesters gathered in the city centre to call for an end to arms sales to Israel. The adverse weather in Glasgow meant there were last minute changes with speeches being held indoors.
