Sir Keir Starmer has insisted he is “confident no rules were broken” after it was announced he is to be investigated by police amid allegations that he broke lockdown rules last year.
The Labour leader – who repeatedly called for Boris Johnson to resign over rule-breaking in Downing Street – told reporters on Friday evening: “Obviously I understand the police need to do their job, we need to let them get on with that but I’m confident there was no breach of the rules.”
