A protester caused chaos at the Labour conference in Liverpool today when he leaped onto the stage and threw glitter at Sir Keir Starmer during his keynote speech. The incident happened just moments after the speech began and was captured by broadcasters.
Glitter Attack
The unidentified individual sprinted onto the platform and showered the Labour leader in glitter before being swiftly removed by security. Despite the disruption, Sir Keir remained composed and continued his speech without his blazer, as flecks of glitter still covered his shirt.
Defiant Response
Addressing the incident, Sir Keir defiantly stated, "If he thinks that bothers me, he doesn't know me." The Labour leader brushed off the stunt and remained focused on delivering his conference address.
Protester's Message
The protester, who stormed the stage shouting, "true democracy is citizen led," was quickly restrained by security guards after a brief struggle. The party's official camera feed in the hall cut away from the tussle, but broadcasters managed to capture the dramatic moment.
The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by political leaders when it comes to public appearances and the need for heightened security measures to ensure their safety.
