Labour activists in the Batley & Spen by-election have been pelted with eggs and kicked in the head while on the campaign trail, the region’s mayor has said.
Tracy Brabin, the newly elected West Yorkshire mayor, said that she was leafleting with “colleagues, volunteers, campaigners” in the Whitaker Street area of Batley on Sunday when they “were followed, verbally abused and physically assaulted by a group of young men”.

West Yorkshire police are investigating.
