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.

No it is not, what part of the rule, you cannot share food with non-household members do you not understand?
Starmer did that and it is a very clear and obvious rule breach. There is no skirting around it, it is a rule breach, especially when there is 30 people in the same building, doing the same thing.

I'll continue to cast my move freely at every election be it Conservative, Liberal Democrats, Labour, Greens...whoever, I've voted for all those parties. I'll take an evidence-based approach as oppose to believing disinformation from an overtly newspaper because that disinformation suits my political views and I want to believe it's true.

I've got some sympathy with you here. You found a document on gov.uk and evaluated Starmer's takeaway meal against it and found him at fault. Why on earth is a fine not winging its way to him right now?
Trouble is, it's not that simple and guidance and interpretation changed after the date of that document. I admire your confidence in believing you're right and the former Director of Public Prosecutions is wrong and it's a lovely David and Goliath battle.
If it was as clear-cut as you present it, Starmer would not stand a chance. Instead, he would be accepting a fine and there would be talk of a leadership challenge.

It is not disinformation in the slightest- the video evidence is there for all to see, Starmer doesn't deny the dates and bits of information about that evening are coming out about it all the time, the problem is, you're being very obtuse because you find it utterly impossible to lay blame at any other party other than the Tories, and this is very pathetic of you Andrew.
