Description:

A speech by shadow foreign secretary David Lammy has been disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.

Ten minutes into his address at the Fabian Society conference on foreign policy in London, a woman climbed on stage carrying a Palestinian flag.

Other protestors soon joined in, with video showing one man telling Mr Lammy "you have blood on your hands".

The Free Palestine Coalition later said its activists had infiltrated the event to "call out" Labour's stance on Gaza.

Sir Keir Starmer, the party's leader, was criticised by some at the start of the war for refusing to call for a full ceasefire.

He instead backed calls for pauses in the conflict to deliver aid, saying in October that he understood calls for a ceasefire in Gaza but that this was not the "correct position" at the time.
