Keir Starmer, the leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, was covered in glitter by a protester who stormed the stage and was then removed by security guards, just before he began his speech at the party's annual conference.
After consulting briefly with a member of staff, Starmer removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves following the incident.
"If he thinks that bothers me, he doesn't know me," Starmer said before beginning his speech on Tuesday. The protestor shouted: "True democracy is citizen led. Politics needs an update, we demand a people's House... We are in crisis, we are in crisis, our whole future is in jeopardy."Egypt is moving to prevent a mass exodus from the Gaza Strip into its Sinai Peninsula, as Israeli bombardments halted crossings at the only exit point from the Palestinian enclave on Tuesday, Gaza officials and Egyptian security sources said.
