In both situations, they were mixing with colleagues, not other members of the public.

Oh, I think the police have something else that suggests this was a party and not a work event. Remember they've already investigated it when we had the picture of him with the beer and knew it was a takeaway curry. So that can't be it alone. We know now there were quite a few curries and Rayner was there but to me that doesn't change it (Rayner and Starmer hate each other so that suggests work event even more!).
The police must have something that suggests it was fun and not work.
Durham police can't be blind to the storm that would come if they reopened an investigation and issued a fine without that new evidence after a newspaper campaign. They will have a reason to have reopened it.
