The Member of Parliament for Cities of London and Westminster and Minister of State at the Foreign Office was attending a Mansion House dinner when he appeared to leap up and push the woman againstg a pillar before aggressively manhandling her.

The Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, Dawn Butler called for the Tory MP to be “immediately suspended or sacked” for the “horrific” attack.
Greenpeace affiliated protestors had interrupted an address to city bankers by Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond.
None of the climate demonstrators were arrested over the disruption to Philip Hammond’s speech, City of London Police said.
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.
