18 favourite takeaways from Keir Starmer’s pledge to resign if he’s fined for having a curry break

The Daily Mail’s Beergate campaign for Sir Keir Starmer to be investigated for the food break he took while campaigning in April 2021 has made sure the spotlight stayed on the Labour leader, rather than the PM’s Partygate woes.

On Monday evening, Starmer did exactly what many of his critics had been calling for him to do – pledged to resign if he, like the PM, is given a Fixed Penalty Notice for breaking lockdown rules.

His pledge was echoed by Deputy Leader Angela Rayner. Colleagues reacted to the statement.
