Jacob Rees-Mogg chased off Cardiff University campus by pro-Palestine protesters

SirJacob Rees-Mogg was hounded by pro-Palestine protesters as he left a university after giving a talk at its conservative association, triggering concerns over a “culture of intimidation” in politics. Footage showed the Tory MP faced with demonstrators shouting and swearing as he was escorted to a vehicle by eight security guards outside Cardiff University on Friday evening. The former business secretary, who is MP for Bath and North East Somerset, is no stranger to protests, but the confrontation has raised concerns over the “unacceptable” harassment of politicians with it coming in the wake of a number of attacks on MPs. The protest was organised by Welsh Underground Network and Cardiff Communists, with the former tweeting afterwards: “We helped organise a demonstration against this imperialist politician.” Watch more on Independent TV: Click here to subscribe to The Independent:
