What does the leader of the Conservative Party do after taking part in a live debate in front of millions of television viewers? David Cameron chose to visit a popular Bristol pub after the Sky News leaders’ debate at the Arnolfini, where he shared a pint with Charlotte Leslie, prospective Conservative MP for Bristol North West.

Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha joined Charlotte and several Conservative supporters who had watched the debate in the Three Sugar Loaves at the bottom of the Christmas Steps.

Mr Cameron had a pint of Guinness and he bought a sparkling mineral water for his wife Samantha, who earlier that day had helped paint a fence at the Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled in Henbury (story here).

Charlotte Leslie said: “It was great that David Cameron could take time out from his busy schedule to join us in the pub. We had just seen him put in a fantastic performance in the leaders’ debate and we were all quite surprised when he walked in through the door.

“He spoke to many people and it is clear that he is very knowledgable about the issues that affect people here in Bristol.”
