NIGEL Farage had a pint in Worcester on Thursday evening - here's what happened.
The controversial figure was in the city for his GB News show Farage at Large and spoke about policies like energy and migration which he said were key issues which would prove make-or-break for the Tories.
The show touched on pressing issues in Worcester such as housing issues, the Worcester Warriors and gang crime.
Robin Walker, Worcester MP, appeared on the show and shared his opinion on several issues.
When asked about the Worcester Warriors, Mr Walker said: "It's a massively worrying situation, this is a great club, they've been a fantastic success for the city and a great draw for the county.
"But they now seem to be in a situation where they are financially on the brink, the current owners promised everybody they would make payroll today [Thursday] but they seem to have failed to do so.

"And I'm hearing from players and their families that they haven't been paid and that is totally unacceptable."
Members of the audience also came armed with a set of questions about the energy crisis, cost of living, the rise of solar power and Brexit.

Talking Pints
Dee Kelly, who is best known for her appearance on Channel 4's documentary Benefits Street in 2014, was also featured on the show.
The pair spoke about a range of topics over a pint including her own rise to fame.
Ms Kelly, who goes by the name 'White Dee', said: "The show (Benefits Street) aired at 9pm and by 10.30pm there was a traffic jam of news crews, cars, people, the lot on the street, knocking on our doors and we were petrified.
"When you've never been in the public eye, and you've just been aired in one of the biggest documentaries of its time, you are going to get a reaction."
Holly Jane, a singer from Worcester, was the closing act for the show and sang Last Dance by Donna Summer.
Mr Farage explained the song was chosen to mark Boris Johnson's last week in office.
The Worcester News contacted Punchbowl Inn, where the show was filmed, but they declined to comment.
