The farm is broken off from her speech to promise immediate suppression on militant protesters if she becomes prime minister. The audience, made up mostly of Conservative members and supporters booed the activists and shouted:out, out, out”when they were taken away.
First Truss interrupted her speech. Then she said: “I would immediately issue a law to sure what are we standing up to militant trade unions, who stop ordinary passengers getting into work. And I would pass legislation to protect our essential services. And will do sure that militant activists such as Extinction Rebellion are unable to disrupt the conventional people who work hard do it right and get in work”.
Farm added: “I never, never, never allow our democracy will be undermined by unfair protests.”
In a protest statement, Ibrahim said: “Liz Truss leading in polls and will probably become next prime minister but she can’t say anything reliable in answer to cost of life crisis and climate crisis.
“United Kingdom just experienced record-overcoming heat waves and energy giants raked in billions of profit every day people plunge into poverty as prices rise and wages stagnate.
“As young people who fear for our future, we are desperate need green new deal and political leadership to meet this moment of crisis, not this sideshow.”
