TV footage showed the protester being removed from the conference hall by security after shouting: ‘We are still selling arms to Israel. I thought we were voting for change, Rachel.’ Reeves resumed her speech after a short pause and received a standing ovation from Labour delegates. The UK government announced this month it was suspending 30 of its 350 arms export licences to Israel because of a risk such equipment might be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law

Labour has no power over England
How can she say labour are for the working class 2tier 2 faced liar pensioners worked all their lives look the way they have been treated.
This government won't be here in 12 months, let alone 5 years. Reform are the way forward!
And Democrats wonder why we block gun control across the pond…😂
Just a thought, aren't those security people committing assault. What authority do they have to physically manhandle him. He is not armed, he has made no threats of violence. Even Tesco security won't grab shoplifters.
Corruption
Power of P!srael 😂
Can anyone tell me what the bloke in the blue coat is doing strangling someone with a pink bag in the foreground??
The protester was highlighting the appalling events being perpetrated in Gaza, but Rachel Reeves shows no empathy at all with the people of Gaza, and but comes away with a comment that shows Labour are no longer interested in the morality of governing, but content that they are governing, for their own benefit.
Vile woman
Whether you agree or disagree, putting your arm around his throat is NOT how you remove a heckler.
the young man was required to leave the sausage pary
Horrible woman
Its a party of hypocrisy and corruption
Why not allow him to speak, is it not democracy?
The protesters are heroes. The Labour party are weak.
All the problems we have in this country, and they choose that to protest.
shes gone from fighting for the disadvantaged to fighting for the "working class"
Its sounds like a Darlek
Labour Party, Deaf, Blind and Dumb, oh and don't dare protest.
it will go out of fashion.
I can’t bare to watch her 🤮
Even labour voters hate labour 😂😂😂
"represents the working people" – just as one is being strangled and manhandled…
Something just doesn't add up here. Labour want to earn more from inheritance tax, but at the same time, they want house prices and rents to fall? Surely, higher house sale prices, and higher rental earnings for landlords will equate ro more heritance tax and more income tax paid by landlords? 🤔
This is sickening.
