The document stated that there would be a 'dinner in Miners Hall' with City of Durham MP Mary Foy from 8.40pm to 10pm
The only business listed after the dinner was for Sir Keir to walk back to his hotel - he has previously claimed he"paused for food" and continued working after the meal, saying"the idea that nobody works at 10 o'clock at night is absurd".Earlier on Saturday, Diane Abbott became the first Labour MP to publicly say Sir Keir may have to step down if he is fined over the incident.
The shadow home secretary under Jeremy Corbyn told LBC:"If he actually gets a fixed penalty notice he really has to consider his position."But if he were to get a fixed penalty notice he would have to consider his position." Allies of Sir Keir have refused to publicly contemplate what would happen if the Labour leader was fined.
Conservatives have been lining up to call out his"hypocrisy", as Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News. Sir Keir spent months calling for Boris Johnson to resign over partygate, for which the prime minister was fined last month.
