A speech by Kemi Badenoch was disrupted by hecklers just seconds after she began speaking.
The Conservative leader was speaking at the Centre for Policy Studies conference when she was interrupted.
The heckler could be heard saying "How could you" seconds after she mentioned Margaret Thatcher.
The interruption was met with boos and jeers by supporters in the crowd.

The Conservative leader began to speak when a woman holding a banner that said “Abolish Billionaires” held up a banner and began to shout.
She was soon ejected from the Central London hall by members of the audience.
The second woman appeared to shout about the cost-of-living crisis as she was ejected from the room.
At the event, which marked 50 years since Margaret Thatcher helped to set up the think tank, Mrs Badenoch could be heard to say: “I hardly think Mrs Thatcher can be blamed for the cost-of-living crisis.”
