Defence Minister Anna Soubry broke up a brawl in a cafe in central London at around 07:00 BST this morning.
The 57-year-old former barrister and television presenter, who has previously described herself as a “tough old bird”, intervened as a drunk man clashed with two members of staff at a Westminster Pret A Manger cafe and blocked the man from re-entering the premises.
She explained to The Sun:
“I shouted at the drunk guy, ‘stop it, stop it now’. They often listen to women because they don’t expect it.
“It was only afterwards that I thought perhaps that wasn’t the brightest thing to do.”
