WATCH: Heckler Crashes Reeves’ Conference Speech

A protester interrupted the Chancellor’s speech, decrying arms sales to Israel and “funding oil” before he was booted out. Reeves’ response: “This is not the party of protest!”. Protestors crashing speeches is becoming a Labour conference tradition

UPDATE I: A group called Climate Resistance has claimed responsibility for disrupting Rachel Reeves’ speech:

“How can we trust this govt to take the urgent action we need when they’re so clearly in the pockets of fossil fuel and arms companies?”

UPDATE II: According to the protester, when he shouted ‘Free Palestine’, the officer shouted back: “You weasel!”. He’s got quite the marks from when he was dragged out of the room…
