How he spurned 3 chances to say sorry

LBC radio host Nick Ferrari: Why is drinking within a constituency office in Durham for a working meeting permissible while having drinks outside in the garden after a busy day of work is not permissible? Sir Keir: There’s trestle tables on the grass, which have got bottles of wine on them... That is a million miles away from a takeaway in a constituency between meetings. Ferrari: You won’t apologise. Sir Keir: Honestly, there were two parties [at Downing Street] the night before Prince Philip’s funeral with wine in suitcases. Ferrari: Your point of a culture is very well made... but just for the look that it gave, Sir Keir, are you prepared to apologise? Sir Keir, right: We didn’t break any rules. We were working in the office and we stopped for a takeaway. I understand what’s going on here, which is exactly what happened with Owen Paterson, and that there comes a point at which the Tories try to take everyone into the gutter with them. Ferrari: For the look of it, you’re not prepared to apologise. Sir Keir: We did nothing wrong.
