Rachel Reeves’ speech at Labour Party conference has been plunged into chaos after a pro-Palestine protester was thrown out of the ACC in Liverpool.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was just ten minutes into her speech, was forced into a pause after a lone protester stood up to complain about the UK’s arms arrangement with Israel.

The heckler was heard shouting “we are still selling arms to Israel” just seconds after Reeves tore into the Tory Party over playing “fast and loose” with public finances.

Two men forcibly removed the protester from the ACC, with GB News footage showing the heckler being dragged out of the main hall.

He continued: “We voted for change, Rachel. Stop arming Israel.”

Labour Party delegates applauded as the protester was removed from the ACC.

Responding to the protest, Reeves said: “This is a changed Labour Party, a Labour Party that represents working people, and not a party of protest.”

Sir Keir Starmer was interrupted by a protester last year who decided to cover the now-Prime Minister in glitter.
