Anti-Brexit campaigner gatecrashes Conservative Party conference dinner in Wales

An anti-Brexit campaigner gatecrashed a dinner being held at the Conservative Party conference in Powys. Steve Bray shouted abuse towards members and about the Prime Minister before being escorted out.

Mr Bray, best known for disrupting broadcasters during, and since, the referendum while they broadcast from Westminster, appears to enter Maesmawr Hall in Newtown where a members dinner was taking place without any realising who he was. Holding a microphone and clutching a Tesco bag containing his fancy dress hat, he shouts: "Welcome to Powys," which gets cheers, as does his next line. "Big up for Boris, go Boris, definitely go. Go Boris." You can read more about Mr Bray's previous antics here.

"Our Prime Minister Boris Johnson, what do we say for Boris," to which a guest seems to reply. "Go Boris, come on Tories, we love Boris. Say 'Go Boris'." Tom James, Director of the Welsh Conservatives, is then seen gesturing to have him removed and he is approached. He removes his hat from the bag, and among those approaching him is Welsh group leader Andrew RT Davies.
