Andrew Bridgen calls on Met Police to investigate Starmer’s alleged Durham party

"Why not the FBI?", one person responded on Twitter, while another said "Durham is in Durham, you absolute casserole."

Andrew Bridgen has provoked a hilarious social media response after he called on the Met Police to investigate Sir Keir Starmer’s alleged lockdown-breaking offence in Durham last year.

The Labour leader has had a bumpy weekend after new details about his beer-and-curry gathering were handed to the police.

He promised to resign his position if he is issued a Fixed Penalty Notice like the prime minister, saying he believes in “honour, integrity and the principle that those who make the laws must follow them”.

Responding to the news, Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire, Andrew Bridgen, tweeted:

“For consistency, should it not be the team at the Met who are investigating covid breaches at Number 10 who investigate the alleged covid breaches by Sir Keir Starmer and his team.”

But, people were quick to point out that that’s not quite how policing works.

One person replied: “Durham is in Durham, you absolute casserole.”

“He will be shocked to discover that there is even a police force in his constituency of North West Leicestershire, where he’s served as an MP for 12 years!”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
