Not saying Starmer's an angel but his reputation in this respect is far stronger; he's never lost a job due to lying.

That has nothing to do with it. A lie is a lie, even if it was uttered by Starmer, who also said that Angela Rayner wasn't present. A second lie on the same issue. He also said that no food was available at his hotel - that's a third.

I mean, can you really believe that he 'forgot' that Angela and her legs were there? Doesn't sound credible! :D

Starmer will be reinvestigated by Durham police. Looks like they might have waited until after the locals to avoid the politics of it.

If he got a FPN, that would be the funniest thing ever.

Think he should resign if he does, not really tenable otherwise.

"Following the receipt of significant new information over recent days, Durham Constabulary has reviewed that position and now, following the conclusion of the pre-election period, we can confirm that an investigation into potential breaches of COVID-19 regulations relating to this gathering is now being conducted."

A Labour Party spokesman said: "We're obviously happy to answer any questions there are and we remain clear that no rules were broken."

If Kier is found to have broken the rules I hope and expect he does the honourable thing and resigns as leader of the Labour party, anything else will be a cop-out. If he doesn't then it'll be another nail in the coffin of the respect I have for politicians in this country and I'll have to seriously reconsider any allegiance I have to the party under his leadership. As I told my boss a few weeks ago - credibility is like virginity, once it's lost it's lost.

I think he should resign for sure. People are saying because he said Johnson should, which is true, but he also voted for it. I think MPs should obey the law irrespective, obviously, but you can't vote for restrictions on overs and then break those restrictions yourself!

it would be the only option for him. He, and Labour, could not keep on calling for Johnson to go if he didn't.

just like Johnson not knowing he was at a party that you keep defending if Stamer is proving guilty he should resign but you never say that about Johnson even when he been proven guilty

Really, funniest thing ever, well maybe if you haven't got much going on or are quite dull...

It would certainly more entertaining than you, which doesn't set a very high bar.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 
I wonder if the local police will investigate this (a week after the Starmer incident)
