US Vice-President JD Vance's Cotswolds holiday was upended by a staff mutiny that forced a Cotswolds pub to cancel his dinner booking, part of a week marked by protests, intrusive security, and satirical mockery.

Vance’s presence has brought helicopters and SUVs to the quaint town. Villagers also expressed their malcontent with Vance after his expanded security detail overcrowded a local supermarket, blocking several handicapped parking spaces with his Secret Service entourage.
