It was a banner with a lettuce on it.
What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons.
This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it.
Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?

If you listened to Conservative MPs in the Chamber today, you would be forgiven for thinking that sending your child to a state school was some kind of horrible punishment.
I am proud of my state education. Less so of the Tories' legacy of lack of investing in it.

I passionately care about lifting the 7000 children in my constituency out of poverty.

As disappointing as missing out on Uxbridge and South Ruislip is, Rishi Sunak's attempt to pitch it as a success is desperate.
Labour has never won this seat. Not even in 1997. We came within 500 votes.
Meanwhile, we have overturned a 20,000 majority in Northern England.

Disappointing. This will inevitably limit capacity on the West Coast Main Line north of Crewe.
This is what we have come to expect from this government: infrastructure projects running over budget in the South East (Elizabeth Line £4bn over) + penny pinching for the North.
A section of the HS2 high speed rail line in Wigan is being scrapped - to save around £3 billion. The Golborne Link was set to pass between Leigh and Warrington. Wigan Council were desperate for it to be built - but many local people campaigned against it.

The Tories think we're taxing aspiration by ending private school tax breaks.
But state school parents are aspirational for their children. Mine were.
And this government is aspirational for the 93% of children who deserve a world class education in schools across our country.

Britain deserves a pay rise. We've seen the cost of living go up and up while wages stagnate and we get less and less for our money.

It is self-indulgence at best, and dangerous at worst, to be so relaxed about the coming election.

The Tories mismanagement of HS2 is unforgivable and has failed Crewe and Nantwich.
It is such a relief to have a government that takes management of public money, and delivery of key infrastructure that will connect communities and grow our economy, seriously.
The Tories recklessly mismanaged HS2 and allowed the costs to spiral out of control.
This report lays bare the sheer scale of Conservative incompetence.
We won’t make the same mistakes. We’re assessing the books and will set out next steps in due course.

This is absolutely appalling. The Prime Minister himself blocked the rebuild of Leighton Hospital 3 years ago despite the fact that an incident was deemed "likely".
How much sooner could we have had a safe new hospital in Crewe and Nantwich had it not been for inaction man?
