Three pro-Palestinian activists are appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court over the protest.

Sir Keir Starmer's wife has told a court she felt "a bit sick" and "uncomfortable" when pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated outside their London family home.

Leonorah Ward and Daniel Formentinare turned up to court wearing a keffiyeh, as a sign of solidarity for Palestinians Asked how seeing the protest had made her feel, Lady Starmer said: "I felt a bit sick, to be perfectly honest.Asked by Andrew Morris, defending, if she knew it was a "peaceful protest", Lady Starmer said: "It would look like a peaceful protest if it hadn't been outside my home."

Sgt Upsdale said holding the protest outside somebody's house, instead of outside the House of Commons or Sir Keir's offices, was "inappropriate".The court was shown footage shared on social media of the demonstration, which included clips of the three defendants speaking, and police body-worn footage of the protesters being arrested by officers outside the home.
