Sir Keir Starmer says he will resign as leader of the Labour Party if he is given a fine for breaking covid rules.
The Labour leader is under pressure after Durham Police announced they were investigating him and others over a campaign event in 2021. The force is looking into claims that Sir Keir broke lockdown rules by having a beer and takeaway with staff during the event last year.
The investigation is seen as an awkward one for the Labour leader because he was previously firm in calling for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak to resign when they were hit with covid fines earlier this year. Neither of them stepped down.
