JD Wetherspoon pledges cheaper booze as a post-Brexit tonic

Pub chain reduces price of UK-made beer and vows further cuts on lager, wine and cider " if import tariffs fall

JD Wetherspoon's boss, Tim Martin, has pledged to slash the price of lagers, spirits, wine and cider if the UK leaves the EU, after shaving 20p off a pint of ale to illustrate the Brexit benefits he expects for drinkers.

Martin has been one of the most vociferously pro-Brexit figures in the world of business, repeatedly insisting that leaving the European Union, even without a deal, will mean cheaper prices for customers.
