Thousands have queued in the rain for hours to lobby their MPs to vote for a #CeasefireNOW in Gaza However security is preventing them from entering Westminster Hall leaving it virtually empty. Why is Parliament preventing people from exercising their democratic rights? 🇵🇸

Over 4400 children killed in Gaza. Disgraceful vote.
