British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was interrupted by a protester on Tuesday during his speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The protester shouted about Gaza but was quickly overruled by applause as Starmer resumed speaking.

Amidst the interruption, Starmer made a light-hearted comment, noting that the protester must have had an outdated pass from the 2019 conference. He emphasized the party's transformation by stating, 'While he's been protesting, we've been changing the party, that's why we've got a Labour government.'

The incident drew mixed reactions from the audience, but the overall mood remained supportive of Starmer's leadership and the direction of the Labour Party.
