THOUSANDS of campaigners rallying in Glasgow for peace this weekend will be joined by independent MP Jeremy Corbyn.

The anti-war campaigner and former Labour leader will join Scottish CND, the STUC, and the Stop the War Coalition Scotland (STWCS) comrades to demand a ban on arms sales to Israel and peace in the Middle East.

Calling for an end to the slaughter, which has seen more than 42,000 people killed at the hands of the Israeli military, the rally is backed by FBU, EIS, UCU, PCS, and RMT trade unions as well as Pax Christie, the Palestine Democratic Forum, the Scottish Lebanese Society and the Afghan Human Rights Foundation.
