Starmer is shown up by a young man with ideals and integrity. Values sorely lacking in Starmer’s Labour Party.

When I was a delegate to the Labour conference in the 1990s, objecting to party policy was not only allowed, it was demanded by the Branch that sent me. These aren't conferences any more, they're fan rallies. Obviously I'm no longer a member. In fact I wouldn't even vote for Starmer's Labour if they were the only party on the ballot paper.

Well done to the gentleman for airing his views. A very articulate man. What he mentions is true. Starmer could stop the arms. Starmer could also stop the boats from crossing the Channel. I cannot believe that other countries can pinpoint criminals with drones, etc., yet the UK find it impossible? And yet, anyone who wants to buy a ticket to cross the Channel on such boats can locate the criminals with a phone call? Starmer talks about 10-year plans ... the news on the street is that Starmer and Labour will not be in power for longer than 5 years. Act quickly, Starmer, otherwise you'll have no legacy apart from apathy and the byname two-tier Kier.

Ordinarily, I would disagree with any disruption of a leader's speech on a single issue but Labour's decision to avoid any debate in the Conference of the Gaza issue is wrong and so this type of action became almost inevitable. Incidentally, why was he in a police van? If he was a delegate he had not trespassed into the conference hall. I get that he can be ejected, but not arrested.

Well if you’re going to criticise him at least recognise that the selling of arms to Isreal is in turn causing all the problems in the UK. The labour government is too busy funding wars to actually put money into winter fuel allowance or to help the NHS out of the crisis it’s in. They keep involving themselves into situations like this and then complain that they don’t have enough money to fix potholes or fund youth clubs. He’s calling out the corruption by calling out the hypocrisy. The refugees that will be created as a result of the uk governments involvement in this “war” will again impact uk citizens in the future.

We don’t need a prime minister who condemns war, we need a prime minister with the mind to UNDERSTAND it. Our arms exports to Israel amount barely 0.9% of the total percentage of arms being given to Israel, even so, this protester clearly has no ability to look beyond the here and now. Foresight is important, as is realising that people will die, that is a fact of war. In any case, we shouldn’t be spending money on ANY foreign country at the moment, unless we sort out our own nation first. If we cut foreign aid spending, we will save BILLIONS of pounds. Cutting the fuel allowance for pensioners is pointless, because it only saves around £2bn, halting foreign aid would save us ~£10bn, approximately. This government is nothing but a laughing stock and I am filled with hope that this will be the last Labour government ever, if not at least one of the last. Our country once ruled the waves and half of the known world, and now, we can’t even rule our own borders, and our supposed ‘leader’ is a grifter, a traitor and a fumbling embarrassment to all true British citizens. These protesters are saying the right words, but under the wrong context. We should stop arming Israel, but only once Hamas and/or Hezbollah is eradicated beyond recovery.
