event around the time of the by election, and sir keir starmer and his team were eating curry and drinking beer, and there are all sorts of questions i up that led to durham police reopening the investigation. but the main develop and we are seeing today is keir starmer and angela rayner saying they will resign if they are issued with fines — and that would indeed put borisjohnson in a very tight spot, and this could be the making of keir starmer. 0n the other hand, it could be a kamikaze operation in which his political career is left in tatters. but borisjohnson may find his own position untenable. so we will just find his own position untenable. so we willjust have to see how things unfold in the next few days. i must say i personally oscillate between out outrage over partygate and beer gate while the rest of us were abiding by the rules, we've heard all sorts of stories of loved ones being separated whilst they passing away. but i wonder if we are slowly losing perspective here, the idea that senior politicians should have to resign if they accidentally broke covid rules years ago, creating no spread risk and doing nothing more

my own personal view is that i get the impression, i've never met sir keir starmer, i get the impressionng to establish himself as someone who is rather different to borisjohnson who, let's someone who is rather different to boris johnson who, let's face someone who is rather different to borisjohnson who, let's face it, has an uncomfortable relationship with the truth, and has aired on that occasion and may regard not just in his professional life, but personal life. not necessarily everyone, but i think a lot of people won't think starmer has set the world on fire. the labour party may acknowledge that deep down, he is a decent guy, whether you believe rightly or wrongly, as the police may take a different view... the police may take a different view on sir keir starmer, that he and his colleagues were right within the covid rules and relations at the time. ~ ., ., ., ., time. we will have to wait for the final decision _ time. we will have to wait for the final decision from _ time. we will have to wait for the final decision from the _ time. we will have to wait for the final decisio

refused to resign when he was fined for breaking lockdown rules, so keir starmer does not have to resign, even if he is fined, does he? look, itions to ask in terms of how straight he has been with the public in his answers and frankly rank - double standards, that is for him. the liberal democrats who would love to be talking about their electoral gains, feel on firmer moral ground here. if he is found to have broken the law, does he have to resign? as i made really clear, no politician is above the law. that is a yes? if any politician, be it is keir starmer or borisjohnson, if they get a fixed penalty notice, after a police investigation it is extremely difficult for them to continue. this could get even more difficult for sir keir and that will not change until durham police complete their investigation into his behaviour. damian grammaticus, bbc news. sport now and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's isaac. chelsea are the women's super league champions. they won a third title in a row in a topsy—turvy final day. at half time they were being beaten 2—1 by manchester united and the title was heading to

i personally think they have an issue | personally think they have an issue with the leader, sir keir starmers he is not as able a communicator as some labour politicians, the real winning politicians, the real winning politicians like tony blair have beenin politicians like tony blair have been in the past, and i think for labour to be thinking on doing very well in 2024, they need a leader who can speak to what is now quite a diverse electoral coalition. it combines traditional working—class voters, quite affluent young voters in university towns, you've got to have somebody who says, this is what labour is for, this is our vision, this is what we stand for. at the moment, it feels to me that labour is a party that is trading off and reacting against some of the scandals happening to the conservatives. that can take you quite a long way, particularly in a set of local elections which is about delivering a message to the government, but i think mostly in aliss would agree that labour is not where they need to be if they were looking at winning a majority, and i do think that comes down to ke

former shadow home secretary diane abbott says sir keir starmer should consider his position as labour leader if he is fined for breaking covid laws. earlier ihe pressure on sir keir starmer. it couldn't be worse timing for keir starmer. he wanted to talk about the successes that labour had yesterday, wanted to talk about where labour had made inroads in it being a turning point and instead he is now being hounded by questions about what he's going to do if he is fined by durham police and remember the it was a gathering that took place in the run—up to a by—election last year and he was filmed in an office of one of his mps, a constituency office of one of his mps drinking a beer. he has said repeatedly that he is confident the rules were broken. initially durham police looked at this and said they assessed no offence had been committed and then yesterday they announced that they were investigating following significant new evidence so i think this is awkward timing because it overshadows the election results and it also completely neutralises the line of attack that he has been employing on borisjohnson for his own behaviour in numberten,
