Boris Johnson’s convoy was targeted by a protester as the Prime Minister left the Palace of Westminster.

The demonstrator - who had been protesting about Turkish action against Kurdish rebels - ran into the road outside the gates to Parliament.

This forced the lead vehicles in the convoy, a police motorbike and the Prime Minister’s Jaguar, to stop, with a support vehicle running into the back of the luxury saloon carrying Mr Johnson.
