Starmer’s speech interrupted by screaming child: ‘I’m nearly finished’

Sir Keir Starmer's speech was interrupted by a crying child as he addressed a crowd in Northern Ireland on Thursday (12 March). As the youngster began to wail, the prime minister joked: "I'm nearly finished." Sir Keir was visiting the Atlas Women's centre in Lisburn where he met with members of the local community. He was accompanied by Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Hilary Benn. Sir Keir then travelled to Co Cork to meet Irish premier Micheal Martin at a summit of senior British and Irish ministers.
