William Hague's 14 pints of beer days are over

Leader of the House of Commons William Hague has laughed off Labour claims that a recent party event was an attempt to recreate the notorious Bullingdon student drinking club.

Mr Hague famously told GQ magazine he used to drink 14 pints a day as a youth. He told Labour's Angela Eagle that he had only drunk one pint at the party strategy event - and that had been bought for him.
