A Labour MP has claimed he is being threatened by a group of masked pro-Palestinian activists who have blocked his constituency offices and even thrown a can of baked beans at him.

Luke Charters, the MP for York Outer, said the activists have 'charged' him with genocide and used 'intimidating methods' to pressure him over the war in Gaza.

He said he has become a target in his home town and over the weekend, protesters with megaphones attempted to block entry to his office, scaring away his constituents.

Mr Charters has also claimed protesters chanting 'Labour, Labour, genocide' threw a can of baked beans at him at York's Pride parade earlier this month.

Meanwhile in March, he says he found scratches on his car after being followed by a group of activists following a local Labour conference.
