A protester throws glitter over and disrupts Labour leader Keir Starmer making his keynote speech during the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.While the opinion polls have been showing for months that the public is sick of the Tories, they have also suggested that people are yet to be convinced by Labour or its leader., covered him in glitter and grabbed him as he prepared to deliver his keynote speech will go a long way to disproving those assumptions.
One Starmer ally told HuffPost UK: “It just shows his strength of character that he was able to brush that off and go on and deliver the speech of his life. Warning that the Tories will fight dirty to cling on to power, he declared: “This isn’t over. In fact, it’s barely begun. So we have to be disciplined. Focused. Ready to fight back.”
The Conservatives are now submerged in “the murky waters of populism and conspiracy”, Starmer said, while Labour are now the party of the mainstream majority.“Labour serves working people across all these islands,” he said. “There’s nothing more important, no distractions, no higher cause. That’s who we stand for.”
