GB News host fumes at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves for heading to pub after No10 exit

Somehow, some people have still managed to get wound up by Starmer and Reeves going to the pub.

A GB News presenter has been mocked over his rage at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves heading to the pub after their departure from Number 10.

On Monday, Keir Starmer was officially replaced as prime minister by Andy Burnham. Later in the day, it was confirmed that Rachel Reeves had left her role as chancellor, being replaced by former defence secretary Jonathan Healey.

A few hours after their exits from Number 10, both Starmer and Reeves were spotted drinking at a north London pub.

Photos obtained by the Sun showed the pair at what is believed to be the Pineapple pub in Kentish Town.

Starmer seemed to be enjoying a pint of bitter whilst Reeves was seen drinking wine.

But whilst the vast majority of people will relate to enjoying a few drinks after your final day at a job, some right-wing figures have been wound up into a frenzy over the pictures.

GB News’s Ben Leo wrote on X: “Kicked out of government and then off to the pub for a laugh and a giggle. All while the country remains crippled.

“Glad to see they’re having a good time.”

It’s safe to say, that Leo is in the minority with his view here, and he was roundly mocked for his outrage.

And why on earth should MPs *not* enjoy an after-works drink, especially at the end of term? These sorts of puritanical posts give me the boak. Usually followed by "Why can't MPs just behave like ordinary people?" nonsense. https://t.co/5NWtLIbvH3

They’ve just left somewhat stressful jobs and are enjoying a moment with staff.

Why is this triggering? https://t.co/64SbOg7z8O

Don’t get the outrage here. Many of us disagree with the decisions and the philosophies of the outgoing govt.

But they are human beings and entitled to the same rights and privileges as the rest of us – chief of which being enjoying a few cold ones with your colleagues. Let them https://t.co/1gG3jv5fai

Perfectly reasonable and normal to take your team for a drink and put a smile on after you’ve been unceremoniously dumped in a coup. One of Britain’s finer traditions if you ask me. https://t.co/zZS49C8Opr
