Corbyn sticks to apple juice - May picks whisky

Theresa May has named a Welsh whisky as her favourite Christmas drink.

The Prime Minister was among senior politicians who picked a festive tipple for the website Politico. She said she was planning to enjoy a glass of Penderyn, distilled in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, on “those (hopefully) quiet winter evenings”.

Teetotal Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he would be drinking apple juice “like most days”, adding: “On Christmas Day, I make sure it’s a particularly good one.” 0 Jeremy Corbyn chooses a good apple juice for Christmas

Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable said he would also initially be sticking to apple juice as he had his first Christmas drink with children in care, but would later have a rum and coke.
