Iain Dale, a protester and the protester's dog end up in an unseemly tangle after their clash on the Brighton seafront.
Blogger Iain Dale has scuffled with an anti-nuclear protester during interviews outside Labour's party conference in Brighton.
Mr Dale was trying to stop Stuart Holmes disrupting a publicity drive for Damian McBride's memoirs as they staged a series of interviews on the seafront.
The blogger is also the publisher of the former spin doctor's controversial memoir Power Trip, which has overshadowed the party conference this week
He grabbed the pensioner's rucksack and physically hauled him out of the way as Mr McBride recorded an interview with ITV's Daybreak.
The pair grappled on the pavement as the interview continued, with Mr Holmes' dog eagerly joining in the fray and barking.
The terrier - which had a placard saying "No Nuke's" on its back - seemed to misplace his loyalty though, and jumped up to bite his owner on his bottom
