Labour MP ‘confident’ Keir Starmer didn’t break Covid rules
Quick Glance: Keir Starmer "may have face-to-face police interview" over the beergate scandal, according to the title.
  • He has frequently stated that no Covid regulations were broken, and last night he insisted that he is "different" from Boris Johnson and that "politicians are not all the same"

  • The Durham police department first refused to investigate, claiming that no rules had been broken.

  • It comes after the same police force determined Dominic Cummings' trip to Barnard Castle was most likely a " journey to Barnard Castle probably amounted to a " violation of the rules.

  • Police took his testimony and questioning by journalists in Downing Street's rose garden as a witness statement.
