The protester threw glitter at the Labour leader as he began his keynote speech in Liverpool.
As Sir Keir began to address the gathering in Liverpool the heckler began shouting “true democracy is citizen led” and threw glitter at Sir Keir, but was swiftly removed.
Sir Keir used his speech to praise the spirit of the British people despite the “Tory project to kick the hope out of this country”. In a nod to New Labour, Sir Keir said the country had “13 years of ‘things can only get better’ versus 13 years of ‘things have only got worse’”. He said the squeeze on living standards “intrudes on the little things we love, whittles away at our joy”.“Days out, meals out, holidays the first things people cut back on. Picking up a treat in the supermarket just to put it back on the shelf.”
