Starmer gets glittered, but was it all a set up?

A protester stormed the stage of Keir Starmer's big speech at Labour Conference, but it was all a bit too convenient...
Right, so wasn’t Keir Starmer’s face a picture, when a protester stormed the stage conveniently right before he began speaking and threw glitter all over him? Security eventually got on stage and pulled the guy away, Starmer took off his jacket, rolled his sleeves up and said ‘protest or power, that’s why we changed our party.’ And I thought, that’s too quick and off the cuff for Starmer, the human form of Zolpidem to come out with and then there were T-shirts being sold on the Labour Party website within hours. Is it just me, or does anyone else think this was a set up?
Right, so Keir Starmer’s big conference speech, it got off to a somewhat unusual start didn’t it, a random guy runs on stage, throws glitter all over Starmer and says: ‘True democracy is citizen led, politics needs an update, we demand the people count!’ Which is a really odd comment, you can kinda hazard a guess at what he was on about, but it wasn’t well conveyed, most protesters who run on stage can at least string a cogent sentence together knowing what they’re on about. Starmer pretends this sort of people’s politics is what he’s all about though, as long as they don’t get a say at the end of the day obviously, so surely this fella would have been better off going after Sunak at Tory Conference, although if he’s of the same opinion as I am, and many of you watching are in regards to Keir Starmer’s relationship with the truth and honesty, I suppose it wasn’t a bad place to make his point all things being said. It’s not like Starmer was in any rush to get away from the chap though was he? He did grab Starmer’s arm I suppose, but he didn’t look worried, he looked annoyed, but security then bundled the guy off carted him away and Starmer just took his jacket off, dusted himself down and tried to sound all tough by saying ‘if he thinks that’s going to put me off, he doesn’t know me very well.’ To cheers from the assembled delegates. Nobody knows you very well Keith, what you stand for in the morning might have changed completely by the evening.
The entire incident bugged me though. How did the guy get in and get so close to Starmer? Last year, security was so tight at Labour Conference, there were armed security walking up and down the aisles, nobody could breathe the wrong way without being noticed, so how did this guy get on stage, have a good 5 seconds to say his piece before being unceremoniously taken away. Starmer got asked by Kay Burley what was going through his mind at the time and I’ve a feeling it was more, ‘make it look good, make it look good,’ rather than ‘who the hell is this idiot?’ Which would have been a more honest appraisal. Starmer’s response to the question was neither of those things as it turns out, instead he claimed he was thinking: ‘We have worked for four years to get the Labour Party to a position were I could speak not just to the room, but to the country and I was not going to let that idiot deflect me.’ Interesting go to response when being grabbed from behind and covered in glitter, I don’t buy it for one moment, who would still be thinking along those lines?
