Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he will resign if he is fined over Beergate, but insisted he is "absolutely clear no rules were broken".
The statement came after pressure and questions about his future arose, following allegations that he broke lockdown rules and Durham Police announcing it would investigate the matter.
The Labour leader since 2020, branded by Lisa Nandy as "Mr Rules", said: "If the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice, I would of course do the right thing and step down."
