LONDON, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister Theresa May's keynote conference speech in Manchester was interrupted Wednesday by a protester.

A man approached the front of the hall and handed May a P45 note, a letter handed when people's jobs are terminated. May took the letter and placed it on the floor.

The prime minister stopped her speech as officials surrounded the man and escorted him from the hall, while he continued to shout protest words. She returned with a choke aimed at the Labour leader, saying "It's Jeremy Corbyn who should be given a P45".

The intrusion is likely to lead to questions being raised about a security breach at the conference where security has been so intensive.
