London: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has apologized for shooting a video without wearing a seat belt. He unbuckled his seat belt to shoot a video to post on social media. Sunak’s spokesman said his seat belt was only changed for a short time and he admits he was at fault. The spokesperson informed that the Prime Minister asked everyone to wear seat belts.
In the UK, passengers who do not wear a seat belt while in a car will be fined £100, which will increase to £500 if the case goes to court. After the video came out, the opposition parties criticized the Prime Minister. The incident took place during a visit to Lancashire on Thursday.
The protest incident took place during the filming of a video about the government’s new Leveling Up Fund to finance more than 100 projects across the country. The video also shows his car being escorted by police officers on motorbikes to the Prime Minister.
The opposition labor parties have also come forward to severely criticize the failure on the part of the Prime Minister. ‘Rishi Sunak still doesn’t know how to manage seat belt, debit card, train service and economy in this country. The list is growing daily and it makes for painful viewing,’ said a Labor Party spokesman.
The previous day, a Royal Air Force jet flight from North Holt in northwest London to Blackpool was also controversial. The explanation was that the plane was being used to make maximum use of the prime minister’s time. After this, there was criticism for not wearing a seat belt.
