Keir Starmer has refused to say whether he is banned from his local pub after more than 250 bars and restaurants joined a campaign to bar Labour MPs from entering. Asked by GB News, Starmer skirted around the question:
“We’re working with the sector…I do acknowledge for pubs and others that the revaluation [of business rates] will mean they will struggle.”
It wouldn’t be the first time he’s been thrown out of a pub…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
