A popular Newcastle bar say they are shocked their staff have been horrifically abused online after Nigel Farage visited their venue.

Hibou Blanc in Newcastle’s city centre was swarmed with protesters last Friday after the Reform UK leader went to a lunchtime event there.

Activists shouted ‘shame on you’ and threw things at the restaurant, forcing the swanky venue to close its shutters.
