Sir Keir Starmer said he will resign as Labour leader if police rule he broke coronavirus laws.

Having held talks about his strategy on Monday, Sir Keir gave a televised address over his intentions at 4pm.

He earlier pulled out of a scheduled event where he would have faced fresh questions, as he is investigated by police over the Durham beer-and-curry gathering in April last year.

The Labour leader said: “If the police decide to issue me with a FPN I would of course do the right thing and step down. This matters because the British public deserve politicians who think the rules apply to them”.

💥Keir Starmer confirms he’ll resign if fined over beergate: “If the police decide to issue me with a FPN I would of course do the right thing and step down. This matters because the British public deserve politicians who think the rules apply to them”.

Starmer: “I believe in honour, integrity and the principle that those who make the laws should follow them…if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice I would do the right thing and step down”

Reaction has flooded in to the announcement.

Here’s a pick of what people have had to say:

Shit. He's called their bluff. Bravo, Starmer!

Keir Starmer is a thousand times the man Johnson is.

— Chris Bryant (@RhonddaBryant) May 9, 2022

.@Keir_Starmer has just shown more integrity, decency and principle in 5 minutes than @BorisJohnson has in his entire life.

— David Lammy (@DavidLammy) May 9, 2022

There's some mild amusement to be had watching client journalists, addled by their shameless shilling for an irrefutably morally corrupt Prime Minister, struggle with Starmer's obvious & proven probity.

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.
