Things got heated at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool this week. A group of protesters showed up to rally against the government’s recent ban on the activist group 'Palestine Action.'

Palestine Action is a group that takes direct action to protest against companies they say are involved in the arms trade with Israel. The government has taken a hard stance against them, leading to the current tensions.

During the event, police arrested at least two people who were demonstrating outside the venues. One of the people arrested was Robert Del Naja, a member of the band Massive Attack. He was there to support the group and speak out against the ban.

Despite the arrests and the police presence, hundreds of people showed up to make their voices heard. They feel that the government is trying to silence them. The protest happened on the first day of the Labour conference, which is a major meeting for the party to discuss its plans and policies.

The demonstration highlights a deep divide over how the UK should handle protests and its relationship with the conflict in the Middle East. As the conference continues, it is clear that many people are frustrated and are not going to be quiet about their views.
