The protester, who has links to eco-groups Lawful Cease Oil and Extinction Rise up, was arrested on suspicion of assault, breach of the peace and causing public nuisance.
The Labour leader regarded bemused and tried to maintain Ashmawi at arm’s length except safety tackled the protester and led him off stage.
Sir Keir then brushed off the glitter, and advised a cheering conference: ‘If he thinks that bothers me he would no longer know me.’
The Labour leader feeble the speech to claim the ‘tide is turning’ for Labour today as he gave potentially his last conference speech before an election.
He insisted he is the leader to ‘heal’ the country – but warned this can require a ‘decade of national renewal’. Sir Keir said he had grew to change into Labour into a ‘party of service’, ‘renewed’ after the Corbyn era.
Sir Keir praised the spirit of the British folks regardless of the ‘Tory challenge to kick the hope out of this country’.
Promising to reshape the country with 1.5 million homes including unusual cities, modernised infrastructure and enhance for green industries, Sir Keir said ‘the fireplace of change restful burns in Britain’ and it ‘lives on in Labour’.
With a general election next year and Labour enjoying double-digit poll leads, Sir Keir warned that the ‘dangerous’ Tories would ‘scorch the earth accurate to earn at us’.
And if he did win the keys to No 10, the scale of the challenge may probably be large compared with his predecessors.

‘If you think our job in 1997 was to rebuild a crumbling public realm, that in 1964 it was to modernise an economic system left behind by the pace of know-how, in 1945 to beget a unusual Britain out of the trauma of collective sacrifice, then in 2024 this can have to be all three.’
Sir Keir set reforming the ‘restrictive planning gadget’ at the core of his plan to gather economic whisper.
The gadget was ‘a blockage that stops this country building roads, grid connections, laboratories, trainlines, warehouses, windfarms, energy stations’ and ‘an obstacle to the aspirations of thousands and thousands’.
The plan to ‘earn Britain building again’ would ‘battle the blockers who retain a veto over British aspiration’.
The 1.5 million homes promised by would involve unusual model corporations with powers to decrease via pink tape and the creation of the ‘next generation of Labour unusual cities’.
He insisted his plans would no longer mean ‘tearing up the green belt’ but building may take place in areas the place that safety was ‘clearly ridiculous’.
