Following last week’s Conservative party conference, this week saw Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party head to Liverpool for their own conference.
The Labour leader’s speech got off to an unexpected start, with a protester storming the stage and covering him in glitter. With the 28-year-old protester later being linked to a group called ‘People Demand Democracy’, as the panel discussed, it wasn’t immediately apparent what he had been protesting about.
“The most exciting moment was Keir Starmer getting ‘glittered’. The protester - no one quite knows what he was actually protesting, as it was very long and complicated. He was still explaining it as he was being dragged past us,” said GB News correspondent Olivia Utley, who had been present at the speech.
“I thought it was someone from ‘Just Stop Strictly’,” joked Ian Hislop.
“I’m actually dressed up as Keir Starmer,” quipped Utley, pointing to her glittery hairband and red top.
“Starmer wouldn’t be wearing red!” laughed Hislop.
“What was the point of the glitter though? Was that to add a level of interest?” Paul Merton asked.
“I mean, it made Starmer look great. Everyone around me was saying so,” Utley replied.
“He had to take his jacket off. It looked slightly rehearsed. Suddenly it was ‘Keir gets down to work’. Shirt sleeves, no jacket, not formal, not posh,” pointed out Hislop.
“I think it was rehearsed, because he’d ironed his shirt sleeves. Who does that unless they’re planning to take their jacket off!” joked Utley.
“Oh, you think this was choreographed?” asked host Armstrong.
“Yeah, I do! No, I don’t really…” smiled Utley.
“Well, GB News.. they like a conspiracy theory!” joked Hislop.
