1/ I don’t have a huge amount of followers so any shares of this will be greatly appreciated. I have put together the information I can find regarding #beerswithkeir #BeerwithKeir #BeerStarmer #KarmaforStarmer #Partygate #beergate #durhampartygate

2/ We know that the line being taken by Starmer, Labour & supporters is that the event was investigated by police and no rule breaking was found to have taken place. But was it investigated? According to the police all they did was review the video. Not much of an investigation.

3/ We know that information regarding the event and who was there has changed since the so called investigation took place. For instance we know Starmers office denied that Rayner was there that evening.

4/ We know that this is untrue and that the Labour excuse for this is that a mistake was made with that information. They actually want us to believe that Starmers own office didn’t know Rayner was with him at that time 🤣

5/ We know that Rayners married lover was in Halifax with her on the 3 May. Strangely he was silent on social media from 30 April until popping up with Ang on the 3rd. What was a bog standard MP for Ilford doing campaigning so far from home? Was he there the night of the 30 May?

6/ We know that Starmer said he’d “been at it all day doing Zoom calls & member calls from that very office” and “If you’re trying to persuade anyone that stopping to have some food when you’re in the office all day working is a breach of the rules, it’s just not going to wash”.

7/ We know this is a lie because we know that he was in Hull all throughout the day. Here is his own account tweeting about him being in Hull that day.

8/ And here is Hull Fruit Market tweeting about his visit that day.

9/ So we know, despite Keir claiming he had been in the office all day doing zoom calls, that he wasn’t. He actually didn’t appear to arrive in Durham until about 7pm.

10/ So now we know he didn’t spend all day in the office and that he didn’t arrive until the evening it begs the question…why did he go to the office? Could it be that the Labour Durham team were holding a zoom quiz and social event that very evening?

11/ We know that both Starmer and Rayner joined zoom calls from the Durham office, using the same webcam from the same office.

12/ So that now begs the question…if all they were doing was zoom calls why did they need to be at the office? Surely they could have done them from their hotel? Maybe it was so they could enjoy a nice beer in the company of others?

13/ Now let’s look at the claim that they had to stop work to order and eat a takeaway as the hotel they were staying in “didn’t have food, they didn’t run food”. If they didn’t get a takeaway the team wouldn’t have eaten apparently.

14/ Apparently he stayed in the Radisson Blu Hotel Durham. Here is their Facebook post from the day clearly stating food and tables were available up until 9pm. Another lie.

15/ Now those that seek to defend what has happened seem to fall back on the same line “it’s been investigated, no rules were broken”. The rule was you couldn’t meet indoors with people not in your household/support bubble. Here are the exceptions for campaigning.

16/ Now maybe I understand this wrong but exception 20 (a) says no more than 2 people. There were definitely more than 2 people in that indoor gathering that day. We see 7 in the video.

17/ Some people say the 2 person rule is superseded by exception 20 (c) reasonably necessary for the purposes of campaigning. No one has been able to explain why a gathering is reasonably necessary for carrying out zoom calls. Remember this is what Starmer said they were doing.

18/ And no one has answered just who they were campaigning to at 10pm on a Friday night. They actually want us to believe they carried on working after the video was taken 🤣

19/ We know he wasn’t in the office all day. We know he arrived in Durham about 7pm and his hotel was serving food until 9pm. We know he did zoom calls. So why didn’t he do those zoom calls from his hotel & order a takeaway if needed? Why aren’t the #MSM asking these questions?

20/ All this information is available. It’s taken me an hour or so of scrolling to find the relevant posts. I struggle to understand how @DurhamPolice could think there is nothing to investigate further here. Actually I do understand… #joyallen is the @DurhamPCC.

21/ Now I ask anyone who is still defending Starmer to swap the names Starmer, Rayner and Labour to Johnson, Sunak and Tories and tell me they wouldn’t be sure something is being covered up.

22/ They lied about who was there. Starmer lied about being in the office all day and about his hotel not serving food. So come on @DurhamPolice & @DurhamPCC do your job and investigate this properly. A precedent has been set by @metpoliceuk. Or is it truly one rule for them? END

23/ £200 worth on curry? Just how many people were there? thesun.co.uk/news/18452395/…

24/ And bodyguards from @metpoliceuk apparently witnessed it? How much longer can they pretend there is nothing to investigate again? thesun.co.uk/news/18452639/…

25/ After weeks of saying he was in the office all day he now suddenly admits he wasn’t? Weeks saying that he was doing zoom calls and now suddenly there was all this other stuff happening? And can anyone find the media slots he was doing on that night? I can’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

26/ The favourite defence for those having a pop is that’s it’s been investigated. They simply can’t comprehend that the investigation was the police reviewing a video. Now we learn they didn’t even bother to obtain the full video 🤦🏻‍♂️ Did did police actually talk to anyone at all?

https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1521946507766812676

27/ #BeerStarmer set to be investigated over #BeerwithKeir #beergate #durhampartygate. Telegraph understands that even if found to have broken rules he will not receive a FPN as Durham police don’t issue retrospectively.

https://twitter.com/TelePolitics/status/1522543673325592576

28/ Interestingly @DurhamPCC Joy Allen is on record as saying allegations should be treated on a case-by-case basis rather than just making one decision for everything. Not sure how he escapes a FPN if he is found to have broken the rules in that case.

29/ So there we have it. To all those people who wanted to attack me with the line “it’s already been investigated”…no it wasn’t. An assessment was done. They assessed the video and claims and didn’t actually do anything to investigate the video and claims.

30/ Not updated this in a while and I know it’s widely known that #BeerStarmer and #GingerGrowler have been sent questionnaires by @DurhamPolice thesun.co.uk/news/18746280/…

31/ Boris was interrupted during a busy working day and presented with a cake and got a FPN. #BeerStarmer was interrupted during a boozy evening and presented with a football shirt. What will he get @DurhamPolice?
