Unrest broke out at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Monday as an anti- Israel protester disrupted the speech from Chancellor Rachel Reeves and anger boiled over plans to cut winter fuel subsidies to pensioners.
The man was heard shouting: “We are still selling arms to Israel! I thought we voted for change, Rachel!” As the protester was hauled off, chants of “free Palestine” and “stop oil” could be heard from the crowd. “That means immediately stopping arms licences to Israel, blocking new oil and gas, and standing up for the communities already being devastated by the climate crisis.”
Regardless of the debate schedule, the government has made it clear that it has no intention of listening to objections from party members over the issue, with Chancellor Reeves noting that any vote in Liverpool will be non-binding and therefore the government will carry out its controversial plans to cut winter fuel payments to pensioners.
