Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner receive police questionnaires over ‘Beergate’
The Metro says Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have received questionnaires from Durham Constabulary over a potential breach of lockdown rules.
The force is investigating a gathering in party offices in April last year in which the Labour leader was pictured drinking beer and eating curry after a day of campaigning.

There were some exemptions for work meetings – so a key question for police will be whether this meal at the end of the day was necessary.
