An operational note drawn up ahead of Sir Keir's notorious visit to Durham, where he was filmed enjoying a late-night beer with activists, reveals the gathering had been planned in advance.
Bombshell document, marked 'private and confidential', also calls into serious doubt Sir Keir's claim that he returned to work after the beers and takeaway curries.
After the entry recording the 'dinner in Miners Hall' – which includes a note to 'arrange takeaway from Spice Lounge', a local curry house – the document simply says: 'End of visit'.
