This galaxy-brained Tory thinks Keir Starmer’s Durham curry should be investigated by the Met ‘for consistency’

Months after announcing that there was no case to answer, Durham Police will be investigating a food break taken by Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Labour campaign staff in April 2021.

For wks Durham Police have been subjected to undue pressure to reopen an investigation they already adjudicated as “no case”
They bowed to pressure

Starmer is right that there should be consequences if you break the law because our PM doesn’t think the Rule of Law is important

A weird new take emerging from the Johnson camp…

Seemingly fearful of Starmer offering to resign – and at the same time openly suggesting Durham Police are easily pressured/ unprofessional.

Do they believe Durham police were easily pressured into investigating Starmer? pic.twitter.com/j73JgqSSgE

Durham Police will investigate Keir Starmer again, having received “significant new information” in the form of hundreds of Tory MPs and right wing journalists bombarding them with demands to smear Labour in time to distract from the election results.#beergate

Andrew Bridgen, the Tory MP for North West Leicestershire and the man who confidently announced that English citizens could have a Repubic of Ireland passport because of the common travel area, shared this extraordinary take on the proceedings.

We don’t need to explain any of the problems with that, because these people had it covered.

For consistency voters should check the people they vote for have a brain & can use it, regardless of the rosette they've pinned to themselves. https://t.co/U3wPah5bmp

Andrew Bridgen, clearly having no idea WHY there are different police forces in existence in the UK, once again illustrating that Tory MPs are as thick as mince. https://t.co/JEhTTcFW3q

Just an actual elected MP here suggesting we completely and dramatically change how policing is done in this country and send a force hundreds of miles north just so he can get the outcome he wants https://t.co/vRqQ4MWJEK
