Brawl Breaks Out as Shadow Chancellor McDonnell Gives Speech in Uxbridge

A brawl broke out as shadow chancellor John McDonnell gave his victory speech in Uxbridge on Friday, December 13, with police intervening to break up the melee.

In this footage, as McDonnell speaks, shouts can be heard, at which point a melee breaks out. Police officers then step in to break up the fight. Reports indicate that hecklers shouted “terrorist” at McDonnell.

Despite McDonnell securing his seat, it was a disastrous night for Labour at the polls, with the Conservatives securing a comfortable majority. Credit: Barney Davis via Storyful
