Ruth Langsford branded Sir Keir Starmer a liar during a Loose Women discussion that took place just hours before the Labour vowed to resign if he is fined over the Beergate scandal.
After, during an interview on Good Morning Britain, Starmer told host Susanna Reid that police no longer needed to speak to him over reports and photos of him and other Labour colleagues enjoying beers and a curry during a visit to Durham last year, on Friday, Durham Constabulary confirmed that they were investigating potential breaches of Covid regulations, following the receipt of 'significant new information.'
Starmer has always maintained that no rules were broken, saying on GMB last week that he and Labour colleagues had been working late on the night in question and nearby restaurants were closed so getting a takeaway was the only option. His denials came after he'd condemned Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Government ministers, having seen them be fined for the Downing Street 'Partygate' furore.
