Three people have been charged with public order offences following a pro-Palestine demonstration outside Sir Keir Starmer’s home on Tuesday.

Leonorah Ward, 21, Zosia Lewis, 23, and Daniel Formentin, 24, will appear before Westminster magistrates’ court later on Wednesday.

The group behind the protest, known as Youth Demand, describe themselves as a “new youth resistance campaign fighting for an end to genocide”.

The demonstrators hung a banner outside Sir Keir’s house that read “Starmer stop the killing”, surrounded by red hand prints.

In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, Youth Demand called for a two-way arms embargo on Israel, saying that weapons manufactured in the UK were being “used to cause genocide”.

Protesters then laid rows of children’s shoes in front of the Labour leader’s door – a display that has been used at several pro-Palestine protests to signify children killed in Gaza.

The Prime Minister was among those to condemn the protest.

Rishi Sunak, whose own home in North Yorkshire was the target of climate protesters last year, said such incidents would not be tolerated.

The Prime Minister posted online: “I don’t care what your politics are, no MP should be harassed at their own home.

“We cannot and will not tolerate this.”

On Monday, Youth Demand sprayed Labour’s headquarters with red paint and later claimed that 11 people had been arrested in relation to that incident.
