50,000 march in London to welcome refugees
Jeremy Corbyn’s first act as Labour Party leader is to stand in solidarity with those seeking safety

OVER 50,000 people marched through the streets of London yesterday in an unprecedented show of solidarity with refugees and migrants across the world.

Many of those on the Solidarity with Refugees march from Hyde Park to Parliament were already euphoric before the march kicked off, as they heard the news of Jeremy Corbyn’s victory in the Labour leadership elections.

Mr Corbyn himself attended the demonstration and spoke at the final rally — his first engagement as Labour leader.
