Keir Starmer is under police investigation over claims he broke lockdown rules by having a beer and takeaway with staff during election campaigning last year, after Durham constabulary said they had received “significant new information” about the gathering.
While Labour said it was happy to cooperate with Durham police and insisted no rules were broken, the news is deeply uncomfortable for the party leader, who had called for Boris Johnson to resign when he was investigated for a breach of the law.
