Boris Johnson pelted with balls at Tory conference

Protesters demonstrating against cuts to disability benefits have pelted Boris Johnson with plastic balls at the Tory conference in Manchester.

The mayor of London and MP seemed to gesture with his lanyard as he was escorted into the high-security 'ring of steel' that surrounds the conference venue.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is due to address an anti-austerity rally at the city's cathedral later today.
