...and not only Torys - this will send NSC in to meltdown

The Labour leader has been accused of breaking coronavirus regulations by drinking beer with colleagues in the office of Mary Foy, the City of Durham MP, on April 30 last year.

In February, Durham Constabulary said that it did not consider Sir Keir’s actions constituted a breach of the rules.

However, the force has come under pressure to review the case after Scotland Yard issued a £50 fine to the Prime Minister for attending a nine-minute birthday gathering in Downing Street.

Richard Holden, the Conservative MP for North West Durham, has also called for a fresh investigation into Sir Keir’s actions, after claiming to have evidence that a quiz and social event was held by the local Labour Party on the same night.

This has zero to do with the police “re-investigating” and is all about a desperate attempt by a desperate government to smear and cloud what they were doing to ignore the rules, they themselves set.

The letter, sent to Durham constabulary, has elicited this response from the force.

“As a courtesy, we have replied to Mr Holden to confirm we have received that letter and will consider its contents before responding in due course.”

Doesn’t sound like Starmer now being investigated to me...

Deflection, smearing, shit throwing, call it what you like, all done in the name of saving Boris Johnson’s skin and those of his cabinet colleagues who know they would be toast if their master went!

Interesting, seems the guy accepts what he did was wrong, has apologised to the individual he ostracised, and he and his party agree that he should be sanctioned. Seems they are not all the same after all eh, PotG?

Think you’ve got the wrong numb nuts!

Think it was aimed at someone bringing the story up on this board as a veiled smear, whataboutery, type thing!

Hang on, I’ve just realised you have “quoted” me from a completely separate thread and out of context, poor form - do you write for The Daily Mail as your day job?

Don't believe this story. Surely everyone in Labour is beyond reproach.

It was just that your post was the best explanation of what the mail had done and saved me typing it out. And no, the numbnuts quote definitely wasn't for you, but for someone who had taken that same mail story in hook line and sinker, and repeated it on this thread
