STRAIGHT FROM THE DOCUMENT ...FIVE DAMNING REVELATIONS

1 LABOUR OFFICIALS ALWAYS KNEW RAYNER WAS THERE

Labour spent months denying that Deputy Leader Angela Rayner was present, telling the Daily Mail in January that she was not there. The party admitted she was present only when faced with video evidence, claiming it made an ‘honest mistake’. The first page of the schedule clearly lists the key Labour figures on April 30 as ‘KS’ (Keir Starmer) and ‘AR’ (Angela Rayner).

2 METROPOLITAN POLICE OFFICERS COULD BE KEY WITNESSES

Sir Keir Starmer’s Met Police Liaison (MPL) bodyguards could be key witnesses in Durham Constabulary’s investigation. The schedule names four officers who were involved in protecting the Labour leader on April 30, including one who travelled on the train with him between Hull and Durham.

3 SIR KEIR COULD HAVE EATEN AT HOTEL EARLIER

The Labour leader has claimed that he and his team had no choice but to eat a takeaway indoors. Last week it emerged that the Radisson Blu hotel, where Sir Keir was staying, was serving food outside until 9pm – and the document shows he had ample opportunity to eat there before the kitchen closed.

4 CURRY AND BEERS WERE ‘PRE-ARRANGED’… SO NO DIFFERENT TO NO 10 PARTIES

Labour has attacked Boris Johnson’s Downing Street parties for being ‘pre-arranged’, while portraying Sir Keir’s own swigging of beer as an impromptu break during work. Quizzed last week by the BBC’s Fiona Bruce, Shadow Minister Louise Haigh said: ‘Well, the various parties in Downing Street were pre-arranged, social events.’

Defending his own behaviour on the Today programme, Sir Keir added: ‘It was just before elections. We were busy. We’d paused for food.’

But the leaked document shows that, rather than a spontaneous break, an event entitled ‘Dinner in Miners Halls with Mary Foy’ was included in the Labour leader’s itinerary. Even before Sir Keir arrived in Durham, a Labour official had been instructed to order the takeaway.

And in stark contrast to the ‘pause’ described by Sir Keir, the document shows that an astonishing 80 minutes – between 8.40pm and 10pm – was set aside for the meal.

5 NO WORK WAS PLANNED AFTER THE DRINKS

Sir Keir has repeatedly claimed that his team went back to work after they were filmed drinking beer and eating curry at 10.04pm.

‘We stopped, we had our food and then we carried on working,’ he said earlier this year. Despite repeated requests, Labour has failed to provide any evidence to support this claim.

Now the leaked document reveals that no further work was scheduled to take place after the ‘dinner’ at Miners Hall.

According to the schedule, the meal was due to finish at 10pm and Sir Keir and his aides were then due to walk back to their hotel between 10pm and 10.15pm.
