Liz Truss’s Conservative party conference speech has been disrupted by climate protesters. The demonstrators stood up during the Prime Minister’s address and unveiled a banner with the words: ‘Who voted for this?’

The pair were booed by Tory members in the conference hall before being ejected by security.

‘Later on in my speech I’m going to talk about the anti-growth coalition’, the PM said. ‘I think they arrived a bit too early.’
