Keir Starmer repeatedly refuses to say if police have spoken to him about his beer and curry meeting in lockdown

Labour leader Keir Starmer repeatedly refused to answer if police have been touch with him over claims he drank beer at a gathering during lockdown. The so-called "beergate" pictures emerged a number of months ago.

Mr Starmer said then he was having a beer during a work meeting. He said it did not break rules and he had stopped for a "break" and food before resuming work at Durham Miners Hall.

Asked on Radio 4 on Tuesday morning, May 3, whether police have now been in touch with him in relation to the allegations, he failed to answer. He was pushed repeatedly but still did not answer.
