Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests pub-goers enjoy ‘a yard of ale’ to mark lockdown easing

"I'm slightly disappointed by the honourable gentleman's slightly curmudgeonly attitude towards pubs being reopened."

Pub-goers should “go back to drinking a yard of ale” to celebrate the reopening of pubs while adhering to revised social distancing guidance, Jacob Rees-Mogg said.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Tuesday that businesses, including pubs, could reopen on July 4 subject to the latest social distancing requirements being observed.
