Bomb disposal robot destroys Labour MPs' Christmas cards
Published: 12/18/2025

A Metropolitan Police bomb disposal robot destroyed a box of Labour MPs' unsent Christmas cards near Parliament, causing a lockdown. Roads were blocked off for investigation but later reopened as the item was deemed non-suspicious. The cards, decorated by children, were intended for Labour MPs and constituency offices, with some addressed to specific MPs like Housing Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh and Housing Committee Chair Florence Eshalomi. Unattended packages often lead to such incidents in the heavily policed area of London around Parliament.
