What is Beergate and why does it matter?

How Keir Starmer having a beer and a takeaway became potentially a resigning matter following Durham police's decision to reopen its investigation

The Sun first published a picture of Keir Starmer drinking a beer with Labour workers in a party office in Durham on 30 April 2021 more than a year ago. Until recently, the story was a minor Tory attack jibe, but it is now potentially a resignation matter following Durham police's decision to reopen its investigation into whether the Labour leader broke Covid lockdown rules.
