A pro-Palestine activist interrupted Chancellor Rachel Reeves' keynote at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, standing up within ten minutes while holding a large Palestinian flag and asking why Britain continues to arm Israel. The protester, later named Sam P, accused Labour of complicity in the mass starvation of Palestinians. Reeves said Labour recognises a Palestinian state and emphasised that the party is now in government rather than a party of protest, receiving a standing ovation. The Palestinian Youth Movement called for a full two-way arms embargo, an end to RAF surveillance flights over Gaza, Labour leadership resignations and severed diplomatic ties with Israel.
