Pranksters have erected a commemorative blue plaque in the street where Rishi Sunak was hit with a £100 fine for not wearing a seat belt while a passenger in a car.

Jokers installed the English Heritage-style plate on a lamppost in Blackpool, Lancs., on the route the Prime Minister took during a visit earlier this month (January).

It reads: “Rishi Sunak 19-1-2023.

“Received a fixed penalty notice for being filmed passing this spot in a car whilst not wearing a seatbelt.”

Mr Sunak – who was previously fined while Chancellor last April for breaching lockdown rules – was caught out in an Instagram video he posted on levelling up.

A clip went viral when he featured in video of him in a car without wearing a seatbelt on the way to nearby Morecambe, Lancs.

Lancashire Police announced the day after the video was released that he would be fined.

A Labour spokesman said at the time: “Hapless Rishi Sunak’s levelling-up photo op has blown up in his face and turned him into a laughing stock.”

A spokesman for No10 said: “The Prime Minister fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised. He will of course comply with the fixed penalty.”
