2:10Now PlayingSir Keir Starmer has insisted there was "no party" and he is "confident no rules were broken" after police said they would investigate the last year's 'beergate' incident.
Speaking to reporters after Labour made gains in the local elections, the opposition leader said: "We were working in the office, we stopped for something to eat - no party, no breach of the rules."
Sir Keir has come under pressure since footage emerged of him drinking a beer and having curry with colleagues in Durham during campaigning for the Hartlepool by-election in April 2021.
