Rishi Sunak apologises over Instagram video filmed in back of car

The prime minister has issued an apology after a social media video captured him in the back of a moving car without his seatbelt on.

Wearing a seatbelt in a moving vehicle is a legal requirement - failing to follow this law can result in a fine of up to £500. However, there are a few exceptions including when a car is being used for police, fire and rescue services, and for certified medical issues.A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Sunak “fully accepts this was a mistake and apologises". They added: "The Prime Minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt.

Labour said Mr Sunak’s video was adding to “endless painful viewing” after he was previously seen struggling to make a contactless payment with his card. “Rishi Sunak doesn’t know how to manage a seatbelt, his debit card, a train service, the economy, this country,” a spokeswoman for the party said.Mr Sunak was previously criticised for flying to Blackpool in an RAF jet funded by taxpayers.

Bollocks - he knew exactly what he was doing. An apology is nowhere near sufficient. If this is an error of judgement, then he’s not fit to be Prime Minister and should resign. It’s just another example of the contempt he and his wife have for this country and it’s society.

It's not error of judgement. It is plain and simple they think one rule for the plebs another for them it's a corrupt cartel and needs bringing down

So effing what! Slow news day?

'The Prime Minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt.' Evidently he doesn’t.

Error of judgment my arse. Put timing on a seatbelt is second nature these days. He’s sorry he got caught.
