Shadow home secretary Chris Philp has said he was pelted with bottles and had a knife pulled on him while speaking to migrants in a camp in northern France.

The Conservative MP posted a video on social media discussing the incident with Daily Express journalist Zak Garner-Purkis who has accompanied him on his visit to France.

In the clip, Philp says: “I found it pretty shocking – you said behind me somebody had pulled out some sort of machete and we left pretty quickly.”

Mr Garner-Purkis says the man was “swinging it around in the air” adding: “It was, clear he was doing it to send a message to the other people there – whether it was a case of ‘don’t speak’.”

In the video, the two men are recounting the incident while walking along the side of a road at which point objects can be seen being thrown at them.

Mr Garner-Purkis says “they are throwing bottles at us” and Philp says: “Right, we’ve got to go.”
