The conversation they had before the physical confrontation I thought Starmer handled OK to a point, although when he said 'I don't need lectures from you' (or something along those lines) it sounded pretty sneering. The landlord was clearly a complete prick though.
Why they proceeded to enter the pub after that I've got no idea to be honest. Can't say I've been impressed with Starmer's team's supposed professionalism judging by the recent press gaffes.
The landlord had every right to tell him to leave - what was he doing in the pub anyway? No one else is allowed in one. His security was the complete prick IMO - could prosecute him for assault on his own property...
I remember seeing that landlord being a complete prick to his staff one time I was in there. Also find the ‘lifelong labour voter’ thing a bit dubious.
