Labor MP Chris Webb was “attacked and robbed” on the way back to the flat

A Labor MP said he was robbed on his way back to his flat in London.

Chris Webb, MP for Blackpool South, thanked the police for their “quick response” to the incident on Monday night.

He posted on social media site X: “Last night on my way back to my flat in London I was attacked and robbed by a group of individuals.

“Fortunately, I have no injuries and I’m fine. Unfortunately, they just took my phone, so I’m without one for the foreseeable future.

“I want to thank the Metropolitan Police Service for their quick response and support. The officers who assisted me went above and beyond. They are an outstanding credit to the force.”

The Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.
