Journalist Owen Jones has been booted out of Labour conference with the party citing concerns about safeguarding.

The Jeremy Corbyn supporter accused Labour of "Trumpian behaviour", and said he'd never has his pass revoked before.

Writing on X, he said: "Labour has cancelled my Conference Pass. Absolutely pathetic, Trumpian behaviour. They are here suggesting that attempts to question Cabinet members and MPs about Britain facilitating Israel's genocide is a 'safeguarding issue'.

"This is clearly insane. I've been filming videos at Labour and Tory Conference for a decade now. This involves trying to get ministers to answer questions which - unfortunately! - most media outlets refuse to ask. After countless videos, this is the first time my pass has been revoked.

"The Labour government has armed and facilitated one of the worst crimes of our age. They can try and shut down scrutiny of this fact - but they will not wash away their guilt."

Explaining its decision in an email to the Guardian journalist, the party insisted it was a "safeguarding issue".

It said: "We have a responsibility to safeguard all our delegates, staff, volunteers, and visitors, and to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone at conference.

"After careful consideration, we’ve concluded that we cannot continue your attendance while ensuring we meet our safeguarding obligations to all attendees.

"We hope you’ll understand that this decision was made with everyone’s wellbeing in mind".

Although removed from this conference, Mr Jones will be permitted to reapply for a pass in future years.
