Tory leader William Hague was jostled by protesters today as he visited Pudsey.
Mr Hague was visiting Pudsey market to talk to traders when protesters wearing William Hague masks started to abuse Mr Hague.
Mr Hague's right hand man, former Olympic runner Sebastian Coe MP, was forced at one point to intervene pulling protesters away from the opposition leader.
Mr Hague was visiting the market as part of a keep the pound campaign and to talk to local market traders. At one point Mr Hague chatted to stall holder Pauline Bedford and bought a £10 bunch of flowers from her stall.
Mrs Bedford said: "He seemed quite nice, I quite like him. I agree with what he says about keeping the pound. We've lost our pounds and ounces, now we've got to do our best to keep the pound."
