Sir Keir Starmer has said he is "confident" that he did not breach lockdown rules after he was pictured having a beer and curry at a campaign event last year. The Labour leader spoke out after Durham Constabulary confirmed it was investigating claims an evening event attended by Sir Keir with other senior party figures and activists might have broken coronavirus social distancing regulations, the PA News Agency reports.
Speaking today (May 7) he said: "As I have explained a number of times, I was working in the office, we stopped for something to eat. There was no party, no breach of rules, I am confident of that."
