JD Vance was reportedly turned away from a pub in The Cotswolds after staff threatened to strike if he was allowed to visit the venue.
Staff at The Bull in Charlbury, near where the US vice-president is spending his summer holiday, are said to have refused to show up to work if Vance was allowed to book the pub.
Vance has been holidaying in the hamlet of Dean, close to Charlbury, where hundreds of local residents have staged protests and a “not welcome party”. One woman told the Guardian: “That’s not what we’re about. We don’t want anything to do with people like him.”
