Sir Keir Starmer will be investigated by Durham Police over "beergate" allegations, according to the Telegraph.
Officers previously said they did not believe the Labour leader had breached covid rules when he and colleagues drank beer and had a takeaway curry in April 2021 - a time when most indoor social mixing was banned. After days of repeated questions over the events, the force is now set to announce a full investigation, the Telegraph reports.
Sir Keir appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday where he was grilled by Richard Madeley over the allegations. Richard asked: "What do you say to the fact that evidence seems to be emerging that there were about 30 takeaway meals and bottles of beer and social intercourse that went on about 10pm, did that happen?"
