Sir Keir Starmer cleared by Durham Police over ‘beergate’ after vowing to resign if he received fine

  1. I don’t have a whole lot of love for Starmer, but this was a ridiculous thing to investigate in the first place. Glad it’s over and done with.

  2. I am looking for many articles in the Daily Heil relating to this news just has it published God knows how many to denounce this so-called “beergate” a few weeks ago to shield the PM.

  3. Gee, what will be the next talking point of why we shouldn’t vote Labour over Tory. Starmer better avoid sandwiches for a few months.

  4. And labour have just released a statement regarding Sir Keir being cleared and it reads:

    >Aha haha hahaha aaaahahaha suck your mum.

  5. I don’t know if he has any grounds to sue the various ‘news’ outlets for libel from the coverage of this, but if there are, he should nail the shit rags to the wall.

  6. Honestly is there a single thing in the last few years Conservatives have gotten so loudly behind that hasn’t turned out to be a complete sham/absolute lie?

    At what point do they start to think twice about getting so deeply behind things being passed down to them or, dare we say it, perhaps feel a bit of embarrassment about being constantly wrong?

  7. Inevitable. ‘Sir’ Keir The Dull attending a booze-up / party always did seem to strain credulity. 🙂

    Poor Tories and their rabid Press enablers are devastated by this outcome. They are not having a good week. 🙂

  8. Isn’t Angela Rayner in the line of fire as well? I’m glad Starmer is in the clear. Can’t wait to be shot of Tory government.

  9. Coupled with the fact he pledged to resign if he was found guilty makes it a nice point to push about him having integrity and ethics

    The last few days have been great. Calls for an extra few Bank Holidays I think

  10. apparently, Starmer is to release a new single in collaboration with a number of well-known drill artists celebrating the fact he got N.F.A

  11. He looks like a champ right now after all that. Imagine having a leader that doesn’t break the law, wild times. Next to ol’ bj he looks like Jesus.

  12. 1. Find a Sky News Youtube video reporting the Tories doing something terrible or making complete fools of themselves that proves to anyone with a working brain that they need to be voted out.

    2. Say “All politicians are corrupt/equally bad” or “Labour are no better” in the comments without elaborating.

    3. Sit back and watch the likes pour in.

  13. It took Durham ploice sine May to come to this conclusion? WTF did they do, ruthlessly interrogate everyone involved for days on end?

  14. Plenty of peoppe on BBC comments want guilty until proven innocent and then call him guilty anyway. All along with comments about how Labour have infiltrated Durham police despite not being in power for 12 years.

    Normally I’d just roll my eyes but there was enough comments of a similar note that makes me worry that a large potion of our country want a crackpot dictatorship where the person in government decides who’s guilty.

  15. He was Director of Public Prosecutions… he wouldn’t have offered to resign if he wasn’t sure he’d not done something wrong

  16. There’s lots of cynicism around Starmer, and I’m probably guilty of some of that too. But, given our electoral system and the political parties we have, he is the very best choice for future Prime Minister of the UK.

    He’s better than any Tory currently vying for leader of their party. And he’s ‘Sir Kier’ because he was knighted for public service already – becoming what is basically the top job for a lawyer in this country. He can do the job.

    I’m not going to oversell him, because obviously he’s not perfect. But I’d encourage everyone to vote tactically in their area and, fingers crossed, we can have a Labour led minority government after the next election.

  17. He knew he’d be cleared, that’s why he offered to resign. It was only a small gamble on a sure thing and it makes BoJo look bad..

  18. The political right are taking a bit of a bruising this week aren’t they?

    Reality keeps slapping ’em around.
