Keir Starmer may have to step down if he is fined over a curry and beer gathering under lockdown restrictions last year, allies and opponents have said.

‘But if he were to get a fixed penalty notice he would have to consider his position.’

‘So if any politician, be it Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson, if they get a fixed-penalty notice after a police investigation, it’s extremely difficult for them to continue.’Asked what her boss should do if he’s fined, the shadow housing secretary, Lisa Nandy, said she was ‘not going to entertain’ the question as she was ‘absolutely confident that no rules were broken’.

In addition to the leaked memo, a source who was present has told the Sunday Times that everyone present at the event were ‘just there for a jolly’, adding that Sir Keir did not work during or after the curry.

Keir Starmer may celebrate local election wins but he still needs a visionLabour may justifiably congratulate itself on symbolic wins in these local elections: the true-blue London strongholds of Westminster and Wandsworth, and the home of so-called “Workington Man” (deemed the archetypal new working-class Tory voter) in Cumberland. Yet it must channel energy from these morale boosts into a pitch that will give people something positive vote for.
