The Rayner thing is a red-herring because it makes no difference to the legality of the event. It was an election campaign which was not only a year later but explicitly had rules written by the Government to allow in-person campaigns. So Starmer and Rayner being at the same event doesn't impact the legality of it.

Starmer having a cake in September is also just nonsense because it was legal then. The Mail is just trying to make it seem like 'Boris had cake, so did Stamer. So what's the difference?'. Well, the time of year it happens and the laws at that time.

The legal issue for Starmer is unchanged from what it was a few weeks ago. Did breaking off for dinner break the rules? The other thing is what else is there is come out? I am sure they're looking at everything Starmer did during lockdown so let's see what there is to come?
