A group of pro-Palestinian activists have held a protest outside the home of Sir Keir Starmer - a move that has been condemned by the prime minister.
The campaigners arrived at the Labour leader's house to call on him to support an arms embargo on Israel. Their decision to target Sir Keir's home was criticised by Rishi Sunak and James Cleverly, the home secretary. Mr Sunak wrote on X: 'I don't care what your politics are, no MP should be harassed at their own home. 'We cannot and will not tolerate this.' Mr Cleverly also posted to the social media website: 'This is unacceptable.
' The protest comes as the government comes under pressure to publish legal advice it has received over whether Israel has breached international law in Gaza after seven aid workers, including three British volunteers, were killed in an airstrike last week - something Israel has said was a 'grave mistake'. The government does not directly supply Israel with weapons but does grant export licences for British companies to sell arms to the country.
