Sir Keir Starmer refused to deny taking drugs seven times when pressed on the issue in an interview last night.
The Labour leader was asked if he's ever taken illegal substances, to which he responded: "I had a good time when I was a student."
Pressed on what that means, the Leader of the Opposition replied: "It means I had a good time when I was a student."
When asked again, Starmer said: "I had a good time when a student and whichever way you put this Harry.... I am not going down that route."

He was asked a total of seven times by the Sun whether he had taken illegal drugs, on one occasion being asked whether he had ever taken drugs while he was a lawyer.
The Labour leader studied law at the University of Leeds.
The same interview also saw Starmer join Tory and Reform UK MPs in their criticism of the new Nike England kit, which saw the red St George's cross on the collar redesigned, replacing it with a multicoloured one.
Starmer branded the change "wrong", adding: "I’m a big football fan, I go to England games, men and women’s games, and the flag is used by everybody.
"It is a unifier. It doesn’t need to be changed. We just need to be proud of it."
He continued: "So, I think they should just reconsider this and change it back.

"I’m not even sure they can properly explain why they thought they needed to change it in the first place.”
The new kits will "celebrate football heroes of the past with a modern twist", Nike said when they were announced.
Nike said the change was a "playful update to unite and inspire".
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
In a statement today, the sportswear brand said: "The England 2024 Home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic.
"The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England’s 1966 heroes, with a gradient of blues and reds topped with purple.
"The same colours also feature an interpretation of the flag of St. George on the back of the collar."
Rishi Sunak today warned Nike against "messing" with flags, while Sir Keir Starmer last night said Nike should change it back.
