Jeremy Corbyn is expected to address a crowd of 3,500 people in Glasgow later this month.

Mr Corbyn has been announced as a speaker at a 'Stop The War' rally at Glasgow Green on Saturday November 23. Demonstrators are expected to gather at Glasgow Green around 11.30am before marching to the city centre and back.

The demonstration has been called by Stop The War Coalition Scotland, the Scottish Trades Union Congress, and the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Posters shared by the groups call for the cessation of arms sales to Israel, 'no war with Iran', 'hands off Gaza and Lebanon', and 'welfare not warfare'.

Stop The War Coalition Scotland is expecting 3,500 people to join the march, according to the group's proposal, displayed on Glasgow City Council's public processions page.

The march is expected to set off from Glasgow Green at midday. Demonstrators will head to George Square via Saltmarket and Trongate, before turning onto St Vincent Street and Union Street, along the side of Central Station towards the Clyde, before turning onto Clyde Street and following the river back towards the park, where the demonstration is planned to disperse.

Stop the War Scotland said in a post to Twitter/X: "Stop the War Scotland and Scottish CND are calling a national demonstration in Glasgow on Saturday November 23. As a matter of urgency we need to build our movement, oppose the warmongers, stop the drive to war and end the genocide."

Trump's plan for Ukraine comes into focus: Territorial concessions but NATO off the table
Advisers to Donald Trump publicly and privately are floating proposals to end the Ukraine war that would cede large parts of the country to Russia for the foreseeable future, according to a Reuters analysis of their statements and interviews with several people close to the U.S. president-elect. The proposals by three key advisers, including Trump's incoming Russia-Ukraine envoy, retired Army Lieutenant-General Keith Kellogg, share some elements, including taking NATO membership for Ukraine off the table. Trump's advisers would try forcing Moscow and Kyiv into negotiations with carrots and sticks, including halting military aid to Kyiv unless it agrees to talk but boosting assistance if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses.
