Police officers in Brussels moved to shut down a conservative conference “with immediate effect” while Nigel Farage was on stage.

Officers entered the venue hosting National Conservatism to serve a court order that demanded the conference be ended on the grounds it endangered public safety.

The police document, seen by The Telegraph, suggested speeches by speakers including Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman could lead to public disorder or display racist and homophobic views.

While the event organisers mount a court challenge against the order, the police agreed to let the conference continue but have prevented anyone from entering the venue.

The conference was already forced to relocate over the weekend after claims of “political pressure” from the mayor of Brussels.
