Brits name the political leader they’d most like to grab a pint with

NIGEL Farage would be the most fun party leader to go to the pub with and Keir Starmer would be the most tight, Brits say.

Around 31 per cent reckon the Prime Minister would be the most likely to skip his round, according to a poll.

But they say Mr Farage is the most likely to buy a round of shots, take it too far, need to be carried home and grab a kebab en route.

Reform UK’s leader is also overwhelmingly seen as most likely to start a fight and get kicked out of the pub, according to 43 per cent of the public.

Brits might want Tory leader Kemi Badenoch on their pub quiz team – with 20 per cent saying she was most likely to win first place.

The poll by More in Common asked over 2,000 adults this month how they think different party leaders would act on a typical night at the pub.

CUTS FOR PUBS

It comes after pubs faced a battering under Labour’s tax hikes which left many on the brink of bankruptcy.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves agreed a £300 million bailout package – but too late for some boozers.

More in Common Director Luke Tryl told The Sun: “Forget voting intention, or approval ratings for many Brits the test of whether they like a politician is if they’d go for a pint with them and enjoy it. Personality matters.

“On that measure, people reckon Farage would be the most generous drinking buddy, but worry about him getting carried away and that Keir Starmer might skip his round entirely.

“Meanwhile if the pub quiz is on, it’s Kemi Badenoch people want onside.”
