BREAKING NEWS Moment Robert Jenrick asks fare dodger if he is carrying a KNIFE as he confronts brazen passengers who jump Tube barriers
This is the moment Robert Jenrick confronted fare dodgers on the London Underground, asking if one of them was carrying a knife.
The shadow justice secretary shared footage of him approaching three men at Stratford station in an attempt to show the extent of lawbreaking in the capital.
He can be heard asking one of them if they have a knife on them - as he questions why they think it is alright not to pay.
Mr Jenrick, who previously ran for leader of Conservative party, said: 'Do you want to go back and pay like everybody else?' He then said: 'But everyone else has to pay.'
One of the alleged fare dodgers who was, wearing a black coat and baseball cap, told him to 'f*** off'.
The shadow cabinet member then replies: 'You can say f*** off as much as you want.'
Towards the end of the clip, Jenrick can be heard asking one of the men: 'You what, you're carrying a knife, did you say?'
Mr Jenrick, whose justice secretary role does not cover crime, claimed London mayor Sadiq Khan is 'driving a proud city into the ground'.
He captioned the video on X: 'Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground. Lawbreaking is out of control. He's not acting. So, I did.'

Dive-bombing buzzard terrorises primary school
A dive-bombing buzzard has forced a primary school to ban pupils from going outside during breaktime following a spate of attacks. Children at Dame Tipping Primary School in Havering-atte-Bower, north-east London, have had to stay inside since Easter for fear of the bird of prey. The bird has been terrorising villagers for months, but because buzzards are a protected species, the school says there is 'nothing which can be done' beyond the outdoor ban. The case strikes a startling resemblance to another bird of prey, a Harris Hawk nicknamed 'Bomber Harris' that attacked more than 50 people in Flamstead, Hertfordshire, in March. Bomber Harris was eventually caught and later adopted by Wayne Housden, a falconer. Stella McCarthy, the headteacher of the school, said the 'difficult decision' to ban outdoor play was made after the buzzard became 'highly present' in the playground. She said: 'As a school, safeguarding and protecting children is of paramount importance.' 'Dead shocked' The school rule comes after several incidents in the Greater London village, located north of Romford, with one woman claiming she was 'dive-bombed' by the buzzard while walking in the park in March. Nikki Dix, 37, said she was 'dead shocked' when the bird attacked her from behind and left scratches on her head. She said: 'I was scared, I was taken aback by it. He was giving me an evil eye so then I carried on my journey for quite a while just swinging my bag above my head because I was just like, 'hopefully this will deter him from coming to get me, because if he does try again to get me maybe he won't be so nice'. 'Nothing like that normally gets me so I'm a little bit on high alert at the moment, that's why I've stayed away from that area as well.' The school has decided to use the situation as a learning experience for pupils, who have created posters promoting the protection of birds – and have even named the buzzard 'Brenda'. Louise Whittle, a parents of one of the school's pupils, also narrowly missed being injured by the buzzard. She said Dame Tipping has handled the issue 'brilliantly'. Footage shows the moment the buzzard flies down from the roof of a nearby house, appearing to aim for the mother's head. Ms Whittle said: 'It's absolutely bonkers that there is a buzzard attacking people. But the school have been absolutely fantastic in prioritising the children's safety and finding other alternatives for getting out. 'If anything, it's been a great learning experience for the children – they have learnt all about buzzards that they otherwise wouldn't have done.' However, Ms Whittle added that she is still concerned that 'the birds are being prioritised over the children' and said she is 'hopeful that they fly away so everyone can get back to normal'. Ms McCarthy said: 'Luckily, as part of LIFE Education Trust, we have had excellent support enabling us to use the trust minibus to regularly visit The Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls where our children have engaged in outdoor learning activities, PE lessons and visited the school's farm. 'We have also introduced additional indoor breaks with lots of engaging activities including traditional boardgames, cup stacking competitions and puzzles.' Dame Tipping has been liaising with Havering council and various bird organisations to find solutions to the issue. The council said its health and safety team has provided the school's trust with 'detailed advice' on legal deterrents and hiring a falconry expert. A Havering council spokesman said: 'The RSPCA has advised that the buzzard may be protecting its nest or chicks, which lines up with the information we have received. ' Buzzards are protected under UK law, therefore our intervention options are very limited, and we have advised that warning signs would be the easiest solution at this time. 'We completely understand how difficult and worrying this situation is for the school and local residents and we regret that there is not a quick or straightforward solution.'

Laura Woods drops F-bomb at Rio Ferdinand while covering Champions League final with TNT Sports as she shares hilarious unseen footage
Laura Woods dropped an F-bomb at Rio Ferdinand while presenting with TNT Sports during the Champions League final on Saturday night. Paris Saint-Germain won the competition for the very first time after a brutal 5-0 drubbing of Inter Milan in one of the most one-sided finals in history. Woods, who returned to her TV duties after welcoming her first baby with former Love Island star Adam Collard, was practising her introduction before going on air. But Ferdinand inadvertently ruined the take on his final game for the broadcaster after he strolled casually into the camera shot and distracted Woods. Taking to Instagram, Woods shared footage of the hilarious moment. In the video, the 37-year-old professionally delivered her lines while looking directly down the camera, before the bungling Ferdinand got in the way. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Laura Woods (@laurawoodsy) Woods said: 'F***ing hell, Rio' before putting down her microphone and laughing. She then joked the take was 'going to be some of my best work ever' before Manchester United legend Ferdinand walked back in front of the camera again. The two exchanged playful jibes with Ferdinand holding the mic to Woods' mouth and pulling it away after she explained she had been halfway through a practice take. Woods cracked up at the joke and a few seconds later, Ferdiand realised the error of his ways after spotting the camera directed at him just a few steps to his right. Suddenly flustered, Ferdinand apologised to Woods for his comical error. Rounding off the clip, Woods declared: 'I wish that was live.' At the end of the show, Woods paid a touching tribute to Ferdinand after his final game working for the broadcaster, following a 10-year punditry stint. Woods said: 'Rio, before we leave, just one final goodbye. From us here at TNT Sport, to you. That is it for your career here, for now. 'Can I just say on behalf of all of us, including everyone behind the camera, you've been an absolute pleasure. Since I joined, you've been so incredibly welcoming.
