Tom Watson was interrupted by a persistent heckler during his barnstorming Labour Party Conference speech.

As the deputy Labour leader called on the party to stop trashing the party's record in government, a woman in the audience shouted "Chilcot".

Mr Watson broke off from his speech, turned to Jeremy Corbyn and gestured towards the heckler.

"Jeremy, I don't think she got the unity memo", Watson joked.

As the crowd laughed and applauded his response, Mr Corbyn smiled and scratched his beard.

The intervention came after he'd sent a strong message to the party leadership to stop putting down the achievements of the Blair and Brown years.

As a standing ovation gradually broke out in the crowd, he said: "I don’t know why we’ve been focusing on what was wrong with the Blair and Brown governments for the last six years.

"But trashing our record is not the way to enhance our brand.

"We won’t win elections like that! And we need to win elections!"
