Writing on X, he said: “Last night, as I was returning to my flat in London, I was attacked and mugged by a group of individuals.

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

“I want to thank the @metpoliceuk for their swift response and support.

“The officers who assisted me went above and beyond. They are a remarkable credit to the force.

“If you need to reach me, please contact my office on 01253 532 401. Thank you.”
