Rishi Sunak speaks out

Rishi Sunak has criticized pro-Palestine activists for gathering outside Sir Keir Starmer's residence, stating that no MP should face harassment at their own home.

Protest and arrests

Supporters of Youth Demand staged a demonstration outside the Labour leader's home, leading to three arrests by Scotland Yard. The group called for a two-way arms embargo in light of the conflict in Gaza.

Government's response

Home Secretary James Cleverly and Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan echoed Sunak's sentiments, emphasizing that politicians and their families should be able to go about their daily lives without feeling threatened or intimidated.

Labour's stance

Labour has called for a suspension of arms exports to Israel if it is found to have breached international law, but has not backed an embargo without legal guidance.
