Farage was spotted going into a popular Newcastle bar yesterday lunchtime.The Reform UK leader was seen entering Hibou Blanc, on High Bridge, for a private function shortly after noon.

His arrival on Tyneside attracted a small crowd of around a dozen protesters, who brandished signs with slogans like “far right swine out the Tyne” and shouted “shame on you” as Mr Farage stepped out of a black Range Rover and made his way into the bar. It also caused a stir in the busy Beehive pub opposite, where drinkers were left bemused by the commotion outside.
