TV personality and former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has made headlines once again after banning Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer from his newly opened British pub. Clarkson, who opened the Hawkstone Arms in Chipping Norton, took the bold step of barring his first customer, citing dissatisfaction with what he called the “calamitous first couple of months of the Starmer regime.
The outspoken television presenter and farmer, known for his controversial views, has never shied away from voicing his opinions on political matters. This latest move appears to be his protest against Starmer’s leadership, though Clarkson did not elaborate on the specific issues that led to the ban.
Clarkson is known for his sharp wit and strong opinions, and this incident has already sparked a lively debate on social media, with some supporting the pub owner’s right to refuse service and others criticizing the decision as a publicity stunt.
Neither Keir Starmer nor his office has responded publicly to the ban.
As Clarkson’s new pub continues to attract attention, it remains to be seen whether this high-profile ban will affect the venue’s popularity or stir further political controversy.
