The issue always has been if breaking from work to eat counts as 'necessary' or not. If it wasn't for the beer I think we would be 100% fine. If they could prove it was a social event he would be trouble, if the beer is seen as excessive with the food he could be trouble.

All of the developments haven't changed that core question. Rayner being there doesn't change the legality of it if it was work event, nor does ordering curry as we already knew it was a takeaway.

But having a beer isn't necessary for work. The curry IMO is fine.
