Story summary

Ex-Prime Minister Keir Starmer enjoyed a casual outing at the Spaniards Inn, a historic pub in Hampstead known for its celebrity patrons including Taylor Swift and Liam Gallagher. This visit took place earlier this week when Starmer was dressed casually in a green shirt, black trousers, and trainers rather than his usual formal attire. The Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras was spotted chatting with friends before heading to the pub's garden. It is not Starmer’s first time visiting a famous London pub; he had previously been seen at a Kentish Town pub earlier in the year after stepping down from office last June due to pressure within his party and poor poll ratings.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
