Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi had to be escorted off a university campus by security guards after being heckled by LGBT protesters.

The Conservative MP for Stratford-on-Avon had been at the University of Warwick on Friday to talk at the university's Conservative Association.

Trans rights activists protesting outside the event shouted "Tory scum" and waved flags and placards.

They were protesting over previous comments made by Mr Zahawi.

One protester hit a member of the Conservative Association on the head, the Telegraph reported, but they were not hurt, while the minister was ushered away by campus security guards.
