The masses march for People’s Vote as MPs debate Johnson’s Brexit deal
While MPs debated whether to support a Brexit deal that will deny the electorate a voice, thousands of voters – maybe a million – gathered in London to demand the right to vote on it.
As I write this, the “People’s Vote” marchers are campaigning for simple democracy – that the government should allow a public vote to ensure that Boris Johnson’s new deal has the support of the people as a whole, rather than just a few hundred highly-privileged, mostly-Tory MPs.
The march began at midday in Park Lane, with an intention to end in Parliament Square.
Twitter has been covering it in pictures:
