British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was interrupted by a protester on Tuesday as he gave a speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

The protester, who interrupted Starmer's speech for a short period of time, shouted about Gaza. Starmer resumed his speech to applause.

"This guy's obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference. We've changed the party," Starmer joked in response. "While he's been protesting, we've been changing the party, that's why we've got a Labour government."
