(BBC) Shadow home secretary Chris Philp has said he was pelted with bottles and had a knife pulled on him while speaking to migrants in a camp in northern France.
The Conservative MP posted a video on social media discussing the incident with Daily Express journalist Zak Garner-Purkis who has accompanied him on his visit to France.
In the clip, Philp says: “I found it pretty shocking — you said behind me somebody had pulled out some sort of machete and we left pretty quickly.”
Mr Garner-Purkis says the man was “swinging it around in the air,” adding: “It was clear he was doing it to send a message to the other people there — whether it was a case of ‘don’t speak.'”
