Sir Keir Starmer is considering whether to commit to resigning if police find he broke coronavirus rules as he battles to regain the political initiative while pressuring Boris Johnson over his own fine.
The Labour leader was understood to be in talks on Monday about whether to announce the pledge, after pulling out of a scheduled event where he would have faced fresh questions.
Allies insisted he was not “ducking scrutiny” by pulling out of the discussion, as he is investigated by police over the Durham beer-and-curry gathering in April last year.
