Starmer asks again, "Either the taxpayer paid the initial invoice, or it was the party, or it was a donor, or it was the PM... who paid the initial invoice?"

Now on to the Electoral Commission's investigation.
"Does he believe that any rules or laws have been broken?" asks Starmer.
"No I don't", replies the PM.
