Moment anti-Israel protester who heckled Rachel Reeves is dragged out of party conference as crowd cheers
A GAZA protestor was bundled out of Labour conference after screaming over Rachel Reeves’ speech.
The young man, disguised in a smart suit, interrupted the Chancellor minutes after she begun delivering her keynote address in Liverpool.
Among hundreds of conference delegates he and a second accomplice yelled out that Labour should stop selling arms to Israel.
Security scuffled with the main agitator, who belonged to the group Climate Resistance, before removing him from the conference arena.
Labour members cheered as he was dragged out of the room.
Responding, Ms Reeves declared Labour is “not a party of protest”.

She said: “This is a changed Labour Party.
“A Labour Party that represents working people, not a party of protest.”
In August Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced a partial embargo on weapons exports to Israel.
But left-wing protestors have demanded ministers go further and issue a full ban.
Protestors are expected to attempt to disrupt Sir Keir Starmer when he delivers his major conference address tomorrow.
Last year the PM was doused in glitter by a demonstrator who made it onto the stage before being hauled away by security.
