    Angela Rayner was present at Sir Keir Starmer lockdown beers, Labour confirm – By Sky News Newsroom (Sky News) / May 1, 2022

    The party acknowledges it previously told journalists she was not present at the gathering last April when coronavirus restrictions were in force, but say it was a “mistake made in good faith”.

    Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner did attend an event where Sir Keir Starmer was caught on camera drinking beer with activists during lockdown, the party has confirmed.

    Labour acknowledged it had previously told journalists Ms Rayner was not present at the gathering last April when coronavirus restrictions were in force.

    But a party source said it was a “mistake made in good faith” and Sir Keir has insisted it “makes absolutely no difference” as no rules had been broken.

    The event took place in the Durham constituency office of the local MP Mary Foy in the run-up to the Hartlepool by-election.
