Labor leader Sir Kiel Starmer faced increasing pressure on Sunday over a potentially rule-breaking supper with colleagues during the blockade of the CCP virus after the leaked memo suggested dinner preparation.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab accused Starmer of “complete falsehood,” and Sir Ed Davey, the leader of the LDP, said it would be “difficult” for Starmer to continue as leader if police determined that Starmer had violated the law. I suggested.
But Labor claimed that the rules were not broken. Shadow Cabinet Minister said he was “absolutely confident” that Starmer did not violate the law, and the so-called “Beer Gate” case was “somehow” at the “Party Gate” rally at Downing Street and the Cabinet Office. I refused to be equal.
Starmer is drinking beer at the office of Labor Party lawmaker Mary Foy in Durham in allegations of numerous rule-breaking rallies in the heart of the conservative government during the CCP’s blockade of viruses. On the night of April 30, 2021, when a video showing that was resurfaced in media reports in January, indoor social mixing between households was banned.
Starmer previously said the team is lagging behind the campaign and the restaurant is closed, so you need to order takeaway before you can resume work.
“At some point, this was the evening, and everyone was hungry and ordered to take it home,” he said. “At various points, people went through the kitchen, got dishes, and ate food. “I continued to work,” a Labor leader told “Good Morning Britain” Wednesday.
Daily mail On Saturday, the curry dinner was planned in advance and the only item after the dinner (scheduled between 20:40 and 22:00) was the hotel.
When asked if Starmer should quit, Raab told Sky News on Sunday that “it’s a double-ranked standard to get people hooked.”
“We need to make a fuss about every hole in the account he gave for the beer and curry event in Durham,” Starmer said.
“Keir Starmer looks like someone engaged in perfect hypocrisy, perfect double standards. I don’t think he’s going to get over it until he properly explains what happened in Durham. “He says. Added.
Liberal Democratic Party leaders said on the BBC’s “Sunday morning” that no politician would exceed the law.
“So, if there was a politician, whether it was Keir Starmer, [Prime Minister] Boris Johnson, if they receive a fixed penalty notice after a police investigation, it’s very difficult for them to continue, “Davie said.
Both Starmer and Davie have repeatedly called on Johnson to resign from the party gate.
A spokesman for Starmer’s office said a Labor leader said, “I was working, takeaways were available in the kitchen, and he ate between work requests. The rules weren’t broken.”
Secretary of State Lisa Nandy, the shadow of level-ups, housing and the community, said she was “absolutely confident” that Starmer did not violate the law.
“He went to a work visit, he stopped eating at various times during the day as considered in the work visit, and he finished the work visit at his hotel “I’m back,” Nandy said in an interview about Starmer, before accusing Sky News of conservatives as “an absolutely desperate attempt to throw mud.”
Asked if Starmer should resign if he turns out to be in breach of the law, Nandy said, “I’m absolutely confident he’s not in breach of the law.”
“This is a man who has been self-isolated six times during a pandemic, I don’t know the other person who did it. He is Mr. Rule, never breaks the rules, in stark contrast to the Prime Minister. In particular, he was responsible for the prosecution, not the one who broke the rules when he met him, “she said.
Durham police said they cleared Starmer and his team in February, but said they were revisiting the case after receiving “many recent contacts” on Wednesday.
