The Tory London assembly chair was dramatically escorted out of Suella Braverman's speech today after heckling her comments on gender.

Andrew Boff was dragged out of the hall in Manchester after hitting out at the Home Secretary for talking 'trash' about 'gender ideology'.

He started complaining after Ms Braverman said ministers must challenge the 'poison' of concepts such as white privilege and gender ideology. 

Speaking to reporters as he was led away, Mr Boff said: 'It is making our Conservative Party look transphobic and homophobic.

'Our party has a proud record of standing up for LGBT+ rights and she is destroying it.'

He said he had been a member of the party for over 50 years and was a 'proud member'.
