Sir Iain Duncan Smith has told a court how he feared for his wife when he had a traffic cone “slammed” on to his head as “threatening” protesters followed him at last year’s Conservative Party conference.
The former Tory leader told a court he was subjected to a “cacophony of sound”, a banging drum, abuse and insults as he walked in Manchester city centre on 4 October last year with his wife Betsy and one of her friends.
