UK PM Rishi Sunak condemns pro-Palestine demonstration outside Tory MP's home

The group of dozens of protesters had gathered outside the home of Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood, waving flags and holding placards with the words "complicit in genocide" written across a picture of Ellwood's face.

They were demanding that Ellwood call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Sunak called the group of protesters an "aggressive mob".

"Democracy is built on free debate – but increasingly MPs have been targeted by aggressive mobs for exercising those freedoms," he said.

"We will never let those who intimidate prevail."
