THERESA May was met with heckles and calls to resign when she took the stage at the Welsh Conservative conference today.
The prime minister was about the start giving her keynote speech at the event in Llangollen when a party member stood up and began shouting comments including "why don't you resign?" and "we don't want you".
The man, later identified as former county councillor Stuart Davies, was met with boos and jeers of "off, off, off" from other members and was ushered out by staff at Llangollen Pavilion.

After he was ushered out of the auditorium, the prime minister joked: "My experience of north Wales is everyone is friendly.”
Speaking to the Press Association afterwards, Mr Davies, 71, said: "I am furious at what she has done to our party. To put it bluntly, she is telling lies - 'We will be out by March 29'.
"I think I share the views of a lot of people who are party members. I did what I did because I know it was the right thing to do."
Llangollen is within the Parliamentary and Assembly constituency of Clwyd South, where members recently backed a motion of no confidence in the prime minister.
