By Mark Field MP, a junior minister in the Foreigh Office, ejected a female climate change protester, from Greenpeace, who’d trespassed into a room in the Mansion House while the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, was giving a speech.

The lack of security at the event was shocking. The five highest-rated comments on the video, on the YouTube channel of The Sun:

Well done sir and a minimum of fuss getting her out.
Uninvited woman being ejected and treated the same as a man. That’s equality for you.
