Britain's first Reform UK club has opened

- in a former Conservative drinking venue.

Two Reform UK supporters have rebranded a former pub in Blackpool, Lancs, into a club for the party faithful.

Co-owners Peter Flynn, 53, and Nicholas Lowe, 56, used a pub formerly called The Talbot and officially opened it The Talbot: Reform UK Club on Monday.

They rebranded the boozer - which was once a Conservative Club - painting it sky blue and replacing the signs with the logo.

It comes just two weeks after the party's landslide victory across the UK which saw it take control of many local councils, including Lancashire County council, during the local elections on May 1.

Peter said: "We are chuffed to have reopened in support of Reform - Farage is always welcome."

"There was a first Labour Club and a first Tory Club and we are proud to say we are the first one for Reform."

Peter who has co-0owned the pub since 2009 has said that both he and Nicholas are Reform party members - he has been one for the past 12 months.

Peter said: "We both felt inspired by the recent landslide victory and took action by taking our engagement a bit further."

"The local party also has its meetings here so it just felt right."

Peter has told that the pub was rebranded in cooperation with Blackpool South's Reform councillor candidate Mark Butcher.

Blackpool itself only has two reform councillors but the party recently took over Lancashire County Council after taking 53 of the available 84 seats during the local elections.

Stephen Atkinson, councilor for Ribble Valley South West, is the current county council leader.

Peter said: "We did it to promote the pub but also to share the word and policies of Reform."

"We have no confidence in Labour or the Conservatives."

The boozer which was built in the 1920's has two storeys.

Downstairs you can find the bar connected to the indoor seating area - next door there is a games room containing snooker tables and darts boards.

Upstairs you can find a 180-person function room.

Pints of beer cost £3 to £4

- Peter has told that there is currently a deal on - two pints for £6.

Peter has revealed the pub running duo have received positive support from the local community on their new rebrand.

He said: "I'd say about 95 per cent of people are happy - we have had an increase in footfall."

"So far we've had people travel from all across the UK just to say they have had a pint from here."

"One person came all the way from Glasgow just for a pint."

Peter has revealed that Farage is "100 per cent" coming up to visit."

"I have met him before he is a real nice chap."

"We will be pouring a pint for him at some point but we just aren't sure when."
