Keir Starmer has joked that a protestor at his Labour conference speech in Liverpool must have a ‘pass for 2019 conference’.
The Prime Minister made the jibe – which drew laughter from the assembled members and delegates – as the heckler shouted across the conference hall.
He said: “This guy’s obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference.
“While he’s been protesting, we’ve been changing the party, that’s why we’ve got a Labour government.”
