Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he is confident no Covid rules were broken when asked about police opting to investigate claims he breached lockdown rules in April 2021 by drinking beer with colleagues.
Mr Starmer insisted on Friday that no rules were breached as he was with colleagues "working in the office", in line with Covid guidelines in place at the time.
"I was working, I stopped for something to eat - no party, no breach of the rules," he said.
"I understand the police need to do their job, but I'm confident there was no breach of the rules."
