During the Labour Party's manifesto launch in Manchester, a young female protester interrupted Sir Keir Starmer's speech, accusing the party of adopting 'the same old Tory policies' and failing to deliver for young people. The protester, who highlighted issues like the climate crisis, was quickly removed by security. Starmer responded by reiterating that Labour ceased to be a party of protest five years ago, emphasizing their aim to be a party of power. The interruption, marked by the hashtag #YouthDeserveBetter, highlighted ongoing dissatisfaction among some young voters regarding Labour's stance on issues such as the climate crisis and quality of life improvements.
