MP Damien Egan was reportedly prevented from visiting a school in his Bristol North East constituency after intervention from pro-Palestinian activists.

Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, Sir Keir Starmer said the case was "very serious, very concerning" and added that all MPs "should be able to visit anywhere in their constituency, schools or other places, without fear of antisemitism".
