Owen Jones and Anna Soubry hounded by so-called ‘Yellow Vest UK’ mob

FAR-RIGHT protesters in Westminster hurled abuse at left-wing journalist Owen Jones and pro-EU Tory MP Anna Soubry today.

Mr Jones filmed the moments he was harassed and followed down the street by a mob of so-called “Yellow Vest UK” protesters – who have copied demonstrators in France by wearing high-vis jackets but promote a far-right and Islamophobic message.

Just met some lovely Tommy Robinson fans and I’d love for you to get to know them too pic.twitter.com/iRom8GavNy
