The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was kicked out of The Raven pub in Bath by the landlord Rod Humphris in a heated row over lockdown restrictions.
Sir Keir’s security guards held back Humphris angrily shouted “that man is not allowed in my pub.” The landlord told PA he kicked out the Labour leader because he “failed to ask questions that needed asking” over the pandemic.

He said, “Why have we just accepted lockdown?
“Why have we just accepted the loss of all our freedoms?”
Labour’s press office has said the landlord was “spreading dangerous misinformation” over the pandemic.
They added that Sir Keir spoke to him afterwards and argued “restrictions, while painful, have been absolutely necessary to save lives.”
After the event Humphris told reporters, “I think he has utterly failed us as the leader of the opposition.”
Now @Keir_Starmer accuses the pub landlord of being a conspiracy theorist. What a day for @UKLabour https://t.co/aJd3DCIFK4
