UK’s Labour leader mobbed by protesters
UK Labour Leader Keir Starmer has been mobbed by a crowd of protestors near parliament, requiring police intervention
Update: Two people have now been arrested
Keir was protected by police and removed by car near Parliament shortly after 17:00 GMT on Monday.
It led some Tory MPs and party figures to urge UK Boris Johnson to withdraw his false claim regarding Sir Keir.
Labour has not commented but it is understood Sir Keir, a former director of public prosecutions, returned safely back to his office and was not harmed during the incident.
In a tweet, Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned the “absolutely disgraceful” behaviour directed at Sir Keir and thanked police for “responding swiftly”.
