Labor leader Kir Starmer said today that he would step down if police decided to fine him for violating Covid-19 rules, stressing that he had always obeyed the law.
“I am absolutely clear that no law was violated. (The laws) were always obeyed,” he told reporters, adding that he simply ate something late at night after finishing his work.
Starmer has been the target of a police investigation into the so-called beergate, as he allegedly drank beers and ate curry with his associates during the pandemic, when rallies were banned.
“But if the police decide to fine me, of course I will do the right thing and I will resign,” said the opposition leader, who has repeatedly called for the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson because he violated the lockdown.
Angela Rainer, the party’s vice-president, also said in a statement that she would resign if she was fined for violating the measures.
