Dozens of MPs have written to the UK’s most senior police officer to raise concerns about safety outside parliament after the Conservative MP Anna Soubry faced chants from protesters on Monday calling her a “Nazi”. The group outside parliament, almost all of whom are men, are not formally linked to Robinson, or his new political partners in Ukip, but have similar roots. I have a real problem with people who call me a traitor, or ‘Soubry, you Nazi’. They tried to stop me getting into parliament.”The Guardian columnist Owen Jones was accosted by a group outside parliament earlier on Monday, with some wearing union flags. A key member of the group is James Goddard, who identified himself as the person filming the first abuse of Soubry.
