RICHARD MADELEY has blasted Sir Keir Starmer's pledge to step down as leader of the Labour Party if he is fined over Beergate, telling Good Morning Britain viewers "it's political theatre".
The Good Morning Britain presenter lashed out at Shadow Secretary of State for Justice Steve Reed over the Labour leader's "fake" threats to quit if Durham Constabulary fine him over his lockdown beer with aides. Madeley told the minister a "sword of Damocles" is hanging over the Party's head on Wednesday's instalment of the ITV news programme.
