Jacob Rees-Mogg speech interrupted by protester warning of ‘fascism’

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s speech at the National Conservatism conference was interrupted by a protester.

Shortly after the Tory MP began speaking, a man joined him at the lectern and told the audience: “I would like to draw your attention to a few characteristics of fascism.”

The protester was then bundled off the stage.

Later in his speech, Mr Rees-Mogg implied the Government’s voter ID legislation was attempted gerrymandering.
