A protester caused a scene at the Labour conference today when they stormed the stage and threw glitter at party leader Sir Keir Starmer. The incident, captured by broadcasters, led to a brief tussle before security guards removed the individual from the hall. Despite the disruption, Sir Keir continued his speech without a blazer, with flecks of glitter still adorning his shirt. This is not the first time the Labour leader has faced such an incident during his speeches.
Glitter attack at Labour conference
The Labour conference in Liverpool was momentarily thrown into chaos when a protester leapt onto the stage and hurled glitter at Sir Keir Starmer. Gasps filled the hall as security guards swiftly intervened to remove the individual. Although the incident briefly disrupted the proceedings, Sir Keir remained unfazed and continued his speech.
Sir Keir's defiance
Unfazed by the glitter attack, Sir Keir Starmer pressed on with his keynote address, delivering a defiant message to the audience. With his sleeves rolled up, the Labour leader, who has been working to distance the party from the Corbyn era, stated, "Protest or power, this is why we changed our party." He also shrugged off the incident, saying, "If he thinks that bothers me, he doesn't know me."
