During Keir Starmer's speech at the Labour conference, an incident occurred when a protester stormed the stage and covered him in glitter. The individual identified themselves as part of a group called People Demand Democracy, which had a small following on Twitter. The protester was swiftly removed by security, and later on, a 28-year-old from Surrey was arrested. The security measures at the Liverpool venue were less stringent compared to the Conservative conference in Manchester, where Rishi Sunak's party had airport-style security. Despite the interruption, Starmer began his speech with glitter on his shirt and addressed the agenda of the People Demand Democracy group, advocating for a more inclusive political system. Merseyside Police had implemented strict measures around the conference venue, but internal security was under the responsibility of The ACC Liverpool group. Although unfazed by the incident, the Labour party did not comment on whether there would be a review of Starmer's security arrangements. In his speech, Starmer highlighted housing and devolution as key issues and promised a decade of national renewal under Labour's leadership. The venue emphasized their commitment to free speech and the safety of all attendees, with well-trained security and stewards in place.
