A statue of Winston Churchill in Westminster was vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters.
Graffiti was sprayed on the statue of the former Prime Minister with the words “Stop the Genocide” and “Free Palestine”.
The bronze statue of Sir Winston was unveiled just metres away from the Houses of Parliament in 1973.
Other graffiti read: “Never again is Now”, “Globalise the Intifada”, and “Greetings from the Hague” in Dutch.

Reacting to the news, Deputy Chair of the Conservatives Matt Vickers told GB News: “Its disgusting and vile.
“Whoever is doing this needs to be held to account. When we were in office we brought forward legislation to help tackle this.
“This is an attack on democracy, this is an attack on this country, its culture and its history.”
