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...

Apparently Keir had basically left the pub but he heard pound coins falling though the hopper of the fruit machine and knew it was due to pay out big time. The confrontation was because the landlord had just gone to change a £20 and when he got back Keir was already on the prize board and had only stuck in 50p

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.
