Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to offer his resignation if he is issued a fixed penalty notice for breaking COVID rules.
Sir Keir has come under pressure over an event in Durham in April 2021 with party colleagues when he was filmed having a drink and a takeaway curry was ordered.
Durham Police is now investigating the so-called "beergate" episode but the Labour leader said critics were "just trying to feed cynicism to get the public to believe all politicians are the same".
