"Labour has cancelled an event for Monday in which Sir Keir was due to give a speech and take questions from journalists ahead of Tuesday's Queen's Speech.

The Institute for Government think tank, which was hosting the event, was not given any specific reasons for why Labour had cancelled it.

The Labour Party has declined to comment."

If Starmer is found to have broken lockdown rules and is given the same FPN as the PM and his crew, and resigns, wouldn't that put immense pressure on Johnson to do likewise?
ken, no, as I said in about 3 different places multiple times
" neither party gate nor beer gate are resigning issues in themselves. However calling for someone to resign over an issue sort of puts you in the frame if you do that same thing yourself." - so if KS had kept his trap shut instead of calling for Boris to go when he knew he was also in the frame he'd be fine.
^^^No.

Because Johnson hasn't been calling for SKS's resignation.
1ozzy - // That's a post Andy Hughes would be proud of Deskdiary. //

No, I wouldn't/

DD states - // I couldn't give a tinker's cuss about BJ not having a piece of cake or SKS and Raynor enjoying a beer and curry social, and I don't think either are resigning matters ... //

Wheras I think they are absolutley resigning matters.

It the government are incapable of following the rules they set and enforce on the rest of us, then Boris Johnson should resign.

If The Opposition have managed to paint themselves into a corner by hooting about resignations for breaking rules they themselves have broken, then Keir Starmer should resign.
It's almost certain that neither will resign
DonkeyHoaty on another thread " would put immense pressure on the PM to follow suit? "
Ken on this thread: "wouldn't that put immense pressure on Johnson to do likewise? "
very similar terminology, Ken = DH, what do we think?
This may come as a shock to you, TTT, but i don't read all your posts:-J

Hahahaha, i thought you said you knew who DH was - no "quotation marks" and no punctuation:-/
ken: " i thought you said you knew who DH was" - I thought you said you didn't read my threads!
I said i didn't read ALL your posts. Do cease with the selective editing, there's a good chap.
Very Clever move here by Labour.
Sir Keir has had enough and wants to go, so he will resign using this Beer slur that the Con's have drummed up as the reason , so that will put Johnsons head on the slab. Johnson will have to go or there will be public disorder. Then Sir Keir will be known as the man who caused the downfall of the Worst P/M in living history Cons lose the next G/E.
Gulliver//that the Con's have drummed //
The proof has been discovered by the press,so not drummed up.Try sticking to the facts.

" - once more for the hard of thinking.... For the reasons mentioned above xN Boris is not going to resign, If Rodders ends up putting his own head on the block because he's been mouthing off for weeks than that'll be yet another Labour Scalp for the Tory's Trophy wall. Labour are still struggling to get to year 26 in power out of 122! Oh dear!

It deserved to be as it contained nothing other than false news.
On a serious note, Putin must be laughing his socks off if he's tuned into whats going on in British politics.
Not only ... but also.
//The Labour leader’s team invited dozens of advisers to an in-person Christmas bash in December 2020, in a move which would appear to have breached Tier 2 restrictions had it gone ahead. The event was later cancelled when London was placed into tougher Tier 3 restrictions, Politico reported today (Monday, May 9), but invites for the London party went out when indoor mixing between households was banned. An email was sent by the Keir Starmer’s office to Labour aides inviting them to the Christmas party on December 17, the news site claimed. A Labour source told Politico it would have seen a group of up to 40 people gathered at the same venue in separate groups of six. But the source said they declined the invite because they believed it would be a breach of the rules.//

Haha. An ex DPP who can't understand "the rules". Ever likely that the CPS was such a shambles when he was there.
Sir Kier ahs dug his own, very large, hole here.

At least he seems to realise he is at the bottom and stopped digging.

As Danny says, neither will go. And I agree they shouldn't. Well not over this.
