Watch: David Lammy heckled by pro-Palestine protesters during speech

David Lammy was interrupted by several pro-Palestine protesters while delivering a speech setting out Labour’s foreign policy.

The shadow foreign secretary had to leave the stage after two protesters separately leapt on to the stage to protest against Labour’s stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

One protester unfurled a Palestinian flag and another, who later stood up in the audience after Mr Lammy had restarted his speech, shouted he had “blood on his hands”.

Mr Lammy told the Fabian Society Conference: “Let’s be clear, we all want to see a ceasefire in Gaza,” adding that “I want change through power, not protest” when he returned to the stage.

Five separate protesters disrupted the flagship speech made by the shadow foreign secretary at the Guildhall, central London.
