That must be a reference to Johnson as there were only 15 people involved at curry gate.
Congratulations on stepping up and criticising Johnson, I thought your adoration of him knew no limits. My bad.

Police are facing renewed pressure to investigate the so-called 'Beergate' event
Keir Starmer admitted sharing a lockdown curry with up to 30 Labour officials
Sadiq Khan suggested 'equivalence' with Boris Johnson's birthday gathering

It was down to 15 people by yesterday.

What happened at the Starmer curry? Here's a person familiar:
— 'working dinner' pre-arranged
— but takeaway arrived late, after work had finished
— 15 people stayed to eat & drink anyway
— it therefore "crossed the line"
— they'll speak to cops
— 2 "redthroats" talking to media

The punishment is a fine - not the loss of your livelihood. As I said, a sense of proportion is required.

Yes, just as bad as a constituency office curry ...

Give us a break, please! If and when he’s found wanting you can criticise. Like for Sir Kier, we are awaiting a verdict.

Yes, as I said many moons ago, pretty well everyone was breaking the rules in some way or other, but kidding themselves that they weren’t. This whole ridiculous debate is so trivial, it’s hard to take any of it seriously.

tbf, given his long history of telling porkies, he could have been lying about thinking what he said was true…

True, but you couldn’t prove it!

To be fair, I think what's required are politicians that set an example and face the consequences of their actions. I'm disappointed Kier at the very least didn't step aside pending the outcome of the police investigation particularly as he was demanding Borris should resign. I'm not however disappointed with Borris as I think we all know he's no better than a snake oil salesman and a particularly bad one at that.

He's always been a bit like that, I think.
There's a difference between changing jobs and dying in shady circumstances like a Russian oligarch.
Meanwhile, two interesting points have come to light over the video of Starmer:
1. The entrance to the Miner's hall is 100 yards past the front gates, so video taker Ivo Delingpole was not just passing by a window as claimed.
https://twitter.com/cirian75/status/1523740121895702528
2. It was taken by Ivo Delingpole, the son of Breitbart, Telegraph and Spectator writer James Delingpole. When the video of circulated last April, he tweeted about it without mentioning that his son had filmed it.

Wonder why you didn't point this possibly out to to posters who said that Starmer lied? Do you think Starmer is more honest than Johnson?

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
Please just make it stop now. Nobody cares anymore. I don’t care if Johnson stays or goes. I don’t care if Starmer stays or goes.
Can we please just concentrate on getting the economy back on track, tackling inflation and interest rates and looking after the vulnerable.
You know, like important stuff.
