Is Keir Starmer’s beergate story unravelling?

[Borchester]

Well just fine him and other attendees  and its 1-1 as far as Im concerned . As with Boris I can't get too hot and bothered over an error of the covid rules which nobody seemed to know anyway regarding where the line was between working and socialising

That Hindsight Starmer had made such a song and dance over Boris having a bit of cake though does make him look a bit of a dipstick but we knew that anyway .

I bet it wasnt even a proper curry ,can't see Kier eating a vindaloo or a Phal , Ive got him down as a Passanda man , and the bottle of beer is too small to be a Cobra as well ,bloke doesnt know his culinary pairing , hows he supposed to run the country ?

It is true.

I view all politicians as lying, hypocritical whoresmelts and am not really bothered if they bend the rules a bit.

But Sir Stodge always makes me think of the sort of chap who knows when he has had enough, and that isn't the sort of chap you want to run the country.

This has to be one of the most stupid and I'll thought out piece of political shite throwing for many a year.
Regardless , that this politicises the police , when not called for. Which is bad enough .No Sue Gray , needed here.
Regardless, scheduled meals would always have been pre- ordered. So hardly evidence of a misdemeanour .
If the Police do as they appear to be told , and change their minds on this issue, and Starmer, should resign. What then.?  Is anyone going to be able to make the case for why ,Boris, his chancellor, and any number cabinet workers can possibly remain in post, after a whole series of rule breaking , by the actual executive.?  If this about who should resign, very poorly thought out.

The agenda stated quite clearly that the meal and booze was the last thing on the list. They could have all gone back to their own digs and ordered food separately: therefore they all gathered together totally unnecessarily and broke the law. You can't have it both ways.

I'm not sure 'thought' comes into much of anything anymore.

Keir:
No rules were broken,
No rules were broken
No rules were broken
No rules were broken
No rules were broken
No rules were broken
No rules were broken
No rules were broken

then out came the orders on Twitter of a sheet planning the party.

I'll need more popcorn.

totally agree barry. After trying and failing to come across as whiter than white over johnsons parties , he now comes across as a liar and self serving hypocrite. As i said , he is an extremely poor politican with much brexit political baggage and an uncanny ability to shoot himself in both feet on a regualr basis.

Wonder if good old will pop on to defend the indefensible? Or perhaps he will slink onto a ukraine thread to virtue signal about events there while ignoring the calamity that is his beloved party and its dear leader the inept starmer.

All quiet on the western front eh?

I did note that Diane Abbott is on the case demanding he piss off if fined. Nice to have the former shadow home secretary supporting law and order for a change !!

Diane has never forgiven sir keir for stabbing wurzel in the back. Nice to see though labour fighting once again like rats in a sack.

Hopefully if diane gets her wish and keir resigns , im rooting for her to be the next leader of the brothers and sisters.

poor auld keir. I think he will doggedly cling on till the bitter end.

Not looking good for labour in a general election scenario though , as i have said now for a number of years , not only does starmer clearly carry much anti democratic brexit baggage  , but the man is totally out of his depth.

Uh oh, it looks like things are getting uncomfortable for Keir Starmer. This week the Labour leader was hoping to turn the national conversation towards the cost of living crisis and the poor Tory showing in the local elections. Instead the hapless opposition leader has become embroiled in a 'beergate' scandal of his own – after the Labour leader was pictured drinking beer at a campaign event in April 2021, when lockdown restrictions were in place.
This week Durham police announced that it was opening an investigation into an alleged lockdown breach at the event – which Starmer has continued to insist was a work event and not a party.
It looks like that story could be beginning to unravel though. Today, the Mail on Sunday has obtained a leaked memo from the campaign event which appears to call some of Starmer's story into question.
Ever since the beergate allegations re-emerged, Starmer has insisted that Labour activists were merely taking a break from work to eat a delivered curry, even though the photo was taken around 10pm. Or as Starmer told Good Morning Britain on Wednesday:

"'That evening, from memory, we were doing an online event for members because we had this "get out the vote" thing. At some point, this was in the evening, everybody's hungry and then that takeaway was ordered. It was then delivered into the kitchen of the offices. So this was brought in and at various points people went through the kitchen, got a plate, had some food to eat and got on with their work.'

But now a leaked operational note – which details the Labour leader's timings for the day – appears to show that the dinner in question was planned as the last event of the day before the activists returned to their hotel. In other words, Starmer's insistence that members were working through the meal doesn't seem to stand up.
This isn't the first part of Starmer's story to not quite add up. Earlier this week Labour was forced to admit that Angela Rayner had attend the beergate event as well, even though the party had told reporters that this was not the case
