Get all the latest news and updates throughout the day onPoliticians of all colours joined a furious backlash today after Michael Gove was mobbed by pro-Palestinian protesters as he walked through London Victoria station.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper slammed the episode as 'completely unacceptable', while the SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn insisted Mr Gove had the right to 'travel in peace'. She said: 'Michael is fine, he remained very calm, which is typical of him. Most people would have been terrified. He said the police were amazing – they really saved his bacon.'
Mr Gove was travelling home from his Surrey constituency by car but was dropped off in Victoria because of road closures. In another clip, Mr Gove was seen walking down a London street as protesters followed him chanting the same slogan 'He takes the safety of all MPs seriously and is in regular contact with the police and the parliamentary security department to ensure support is available to allow them to carry out their duties.Ms Cooper said: 'Attempts to harass or intimidate Michael Gove or any other politician going about their business are completely unacceptable.'
Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: 'Having seen the vile attacks on Michael Gove by the pro-Palestinians and the appalling attacks by the ultra Right-wingers, this day can hardly be said to have passed peacefully. This is what the Prime Minister and Home Secretary were worried about.''Sending solidarity to @michaelgove and all those who seek to go about their private business on a Saturday afternoon but who are intimidated by thugs.
More than 100 counter-protesters have been arrested and nine officers injured as hundreds of thousands of people took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London. A further 10 arrests were made throughout the day for offences including possession of offensive weapons, affray and possession of drugs, police said. The Met said on Saturday night that a total of 126 arrests were made, while a breakaway group of 150 Palestine protesters were detained.
Further clashes with police took place in Chinatown with counter-protesters chanting: 'You're not English any more' towards officers. A group of about 100 people were later held near Westminster Bridge under police powers to prevent a disturbance. An Armistice Day service took place at the Cenotaph on Whitehall at 11am, which passed off peacefully with a two-minute silence being observed.
