Boris Johnson, tipped for Tory leadership following the EU referendum result, had to fight through crowds of people shouting ‘scum’ and ‘traitor’ en route to the Leave Campaign’s headquarters.
The former London Mayor is due to deliver a speech following a monumental decision to leave the European Union, but he had to battle angry crowds first.
Chants of ‘scum’ could be heard in the background and ‘traitor’ from the crowd. Others shouted “shame on you Boris”.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
