Pressure is mounting on Sir Keir Starmer over Beergate as Durham police have asked a witness if they are prepared to give evidence in court.

I think Ivo has misinterpreted what the Police may have said to him - I discussed this yesterday with our friend (who is a Regional Crown Prosecutor with the CPS), and they thinks it’s likely that the local Police (if/when Durham Police took a statement from him) would have informed him that
if it goes to Court, he
may be called as a witness.
They also pointed out that the decision whether or not to prosecute would rest with the CPS, not the Police, and the CPS would contact any witnesses if a prosecution was happening.
