By Ed Sykes 18 June 2025

"On 17 June, hundreds of people attended protests outside arms factories complicit in the #US-#Israeli genocide in #Gaza. They went to Sheffield, Rochester, and Havant to call for an immediate arms embargo. This comes as one poll suggests over half of people in #Britain back such an embargo."
