Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner receive questionnaires from Durham police over 'beergate'
Both the Labour leader and deputy leader has said they will offer their resignation if they are issued a fixed penalty notice for breaking COVID rules
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and deputy leader Angela Rayner have both received questionnaires from Durham Constabulary in relation to a potential breach of lockdown rules in April 2021.
Sir Keir has come under pressure over an event in Durham in April 2021 with party colleagues when he was filmed having a drink and a takeaway curry was ordered - dubbed 'beergate'.
The Labour leader has said he will offer his resignation if he is issued a fixed penalty notice for breaking COVID rules.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have received questionnaires from Durham Constabulary."

Partygate: Explain why fine did not breach ministerial code, Boris Johnson told
Boris Johnson's standards adviser says there is a "legitimate question" over whether the PM broke the ministerial code after getting fined for Partygate.
Lord Geidt said he repeatedly told the PM's team to be ready to explain if his actions stuck within the rules - even if he thought there was no breach.
But he said the advice had not been "heeded", calling on Mr Johnson to set out his case to the public.
The prime minister said he does not consider his fine to be a breach.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
I don't really care either way for either side on minor fines for Covid rule breaking. It is possible to believe you were complying when not or whatever.
I do think that trying to change the ministerial rules when you yourself are the subject within that rule change is unwise at the very least. Maybe the rules do need tweaking so that minor infringements that don't impact your ability to do the job can be dealt with better but the timing is really out.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
I imagine the demographic of the booing audience has a skew towards supporting the Conservative Party. So not good news for Johnson.
Sad to see the self-censorship by the BBC.

I’m told by some credible people that this may just be down to standard editing practice
If that’s the case, I’m very happy to be proved wrong
Sadly the BBC has form here, hence the distrust
We’ve seen the Brexit word almost banned, not forgetting this:
