Description
For 12 days, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer tried to play down claims he’d broken lockdown rules when he’d had a curry and beer with staff. But when the police announced they would investigate whether it was a work or social event, he made the biggest gamble of his political career so far - if he’s fined, he will resign. Why has he made such a high-stakes move? And what does it tell us about the man who wants to be the next PM?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
