Outspoken television presenter Jeremy Clarkson has banned Labour MPs from his pub, The Farmer’s Dog.
The move marks a growing backlash against Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Labour party’s taxes on farms.
Journalist and broadcaster Mr Clarkson said:
“To be clear, I have banned all Labour MPs from my pub, except one: Markus Campbell-Savours.
“He’s welcome any time.
“And not just because the Labour Party has now sacked him.”
Mr Campbell Savours, the MP for Penrith and Solway, was recently suspended from the parliamentary Labour Party for voting against the government on the family farm tax.
The Three Colts pub in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, also posted a picture of a “No Labour MPs” being shared by the campaign, saying:
“After that horrendous Budget and the blatant lies on Business rates, we are joining pubs up and down the country.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is already “barred” from Clarkson’s pub.
The commentator has now extended that ban to all Labour MPs.
Clarkson has seen his annual business rates hit £50,000 – an increase of £22,000
The TV presenter said Sir Keir Starmer would not be welcome in his pub when it opened last year.
He has since extended the ban to all Labour MPs after his annual business rates bill soared from £28,000 to over £50,000.
Campaign group UK Hospitality has warned rates rising to a 75 per cent increase following the Reeves’ budget.
Allen Simpson, chief executive of UK Hospitality, said:
“We will see business losses and closures.”
Steve Perez, a hospitality owner and former CBI Entrepreneur of the Year, told GB News:
“We’re taxed out!
“You can’t continue to tax this industry over and over again!”
