The Strangers Bar - scene of an alleged brawl last night - has for long been the rowdiest bar in the Palace of Westminster, with the possible exception of the Press Bar.

It has for long been nicknamed either The Stranglers or more frequently The Kremlin, because its patrons were more likely to be Labour MPs than anyone else.

And it gained a reputation as a kind of spit-and-sawdust venue, whose customers preferred pints of bitter to the more "sophisticated" drinks imbibed in other Westminster bars.
