Corbyn and McDonnell face police questioning over London Gaza rally

Prominent British MPs Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are due to be questioned by the police under caution on Sunday following a pro-Palestine protest the previous day that led to numerous arrests.

According to a report by the BBC, Corbyn, the former Labour leader, and McDonnell, his former shadow chancellor, agreed voluntarily to attend a police station in central London. 

This follows 77 arrests made during Saturday's protest after police accused demonstrators of breaking through a police cordon in Trafalgar Square. The Organisers denied the claims. 

The Met said on Sunday that 24 people had been released on bail, while 48 remained in custody. Ten people charged are due to appear in court in the coming days. 

The Met added that a "75-year-old, 73-year-old and 61-year-old will be interviewed by officers this afternoon" under criminal caution.
