An anti-vaxx mob including conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn tonight interrupted an NHS funding rally addressed by his ex-Labour leader brother Jeremy.
Footage showed the rally being heckled by members of an anti-vaxx mob who shouted 'no vaccine mandate' as speakers tried to address the crowd.
Jeremy Corbyn hit back at the swarm, among them his brother Piers wearing a 'Resist. Defy. Do no comply' t-shirt, and told them to 'shut up' because 'you need the NHS just like everybody else'.
Around 100 protesters from the health branch of Unite trade union had gathered in front of Downing Street to call on the government to scrap the Health and Care Bill as MPs debated amendments to the legislation in the House of Commons.
The Bill, which will be voted on by MPs for a third time tomorrow before it goes to the House of Lords, involves a shake-up of the NHS intended to make it less bureaucratic and more accountable.
But critics say the legislation will bring in more back-door privatisation of the health service.

Video from the event showed a short scuffle between the anti-vaxx mob and Unite protesters in which attendees appeared to start shoving each other.
Unite protesters could then be heard telling the swarm of anti-vaxxers they were 'not welcome' at the rally.
One anti-vaxxer was later heard shouting 'no tyranny, no Austria, no Germany,' over the crowd, in reference to a recent decision by Austria to introduce mandatory vaccines from February 1, which German officials today said they may follow.
'Defend the NHS. Defend all workers, vaccinated and unvaccinated,' the man continued. 'Freedom, democracy and defence of the NHS.'
