Original review summary

The video shows an April 2021 incident at The Raven pub in Bath, when Starmer was Leader of the Opposition, not Prime Minister. A pub co-owner asked him to leave during an election-campaign visit, citing dissatisfaction with Labour’s position on COVID-19 lockdown measures.[S1]

Additional context

At the time of the incident, Boris Johnson was prime minister; Starmer became prime minister in July 2024. [S1]
