Patrick Christys lambasts Labour’s ‘draconian’ rules as guest warns laws will ‘encroach on family life’

The presenter slammed Sir Keir Starmer’s party as he hit out at the Government’s latest move in a bid to tackle obesity rates

Patrick Christys has lambasted Labour’s latest “draconian” law that has banned free refills of Coca-Cola.

Speaking on Patrick Christys Tonight, the GB News star laid into the rule, dubbing it “as part of a bigger issue” across society.

Hitting out at Labour’s push for ID cards and facial recognition, Patrick fumed: “Obviously, we’re coming off the back of the ridiculous, some of the ridiculous lockdown laws that we had there. Very draconian stuff all the time.”

He added that it was much more than being restricted to one glass of full-fat Coke and that “we’re heading into a type of society that I don’t particularly like”.

“I’ve just got one eye on the future, and I’m slightly concerned that we’re going to end up walking around supermarkets with a shopping basket that’s like counting on calories for us and putting limits on what things we can and can’t get,” he added.

Labour has fallen under fire over the past week as Nando’s customers have found themselves being restricted to one glass of the sugar-filled Coca-Cola.

The regulations came into force last Wednesday, launched in the hopes that the new rules will reduce the nation’s skyrocketing obesity rates.

Meanwhile, sugar-free options are not subject to the same regulations, which allow them to remain unlimited.

“I do just remember Keir Starmer standing on the steps of Downing Street after he won the election, saying this is going to be a Government that that treads more lightly on our lives. And then and then bingo, there goes your full fat Coke,” Patrick quipped.

Speaking to the People’s Channel, historian and political commentator Dr Philip Kiszely weighed in, declaring: “No, I don’t like it at all. I think you’re absolutely right, Patrick.

“I think there’s something else as well,” Dr Kiszely speculated, mentioning the Government’s “obsession with free school breakfasts”.

“Okay, this is the government encroaching on the territory of the family, right? And again, it comes back down to education again. It comes back down to culture. Your one role, your main role.

“The first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning is feed your children. If you don’t do anything else, you feed your children.”
