[Palestine Solidarity Campaign]

BARCLAYS urged the High Court to ignore thousands of pro-Palestine objections to its takeover bid for Tesco Bank today.

More than 8,500 people wrote to the court to formally oppose the £600 million transfer, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) said.

Protesters chanting “Stop Arming Israel” outside the court vowed to extend their existing boycott of Barclays – over its links to companies profiting from the Gaza genocide – to Tesco if the deal went through.
