Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will face a police investigation over allegations he broke lockdown rules by having a bottle of beer and a curry last year.
Durham Police had previously said they did not believe the Labour leader had breached coronavirus rules when he and colleagues drank beer and had a takeaway curry in April 2021, when most indoor social gatherings were banned.
But following days of pressure from Tory MPs and repeated questions over Sir Keir's version of events, the force has announced it will now investigate the claims fully.
