Tory MP who urged Durham police to investigate Starmer tells Lancs police to let Sunak off

If Sunak gets handed a police fine it will be the second time the prime minister has received one in under a year.

The Tory MP for Blackpool South has called on his local police force to stand down after Rishi Sunak was filmed without a seatbelt on in a moving car.

No belt could be seen covering the prime minister’s shoulder as he promoted his levelling-up funding in the clip filmed for Instagram on Thursday as he visited Lancashire.

Fines of up to £500 can be issued for failing to wear a seatbelt when one is available.

There are a few exemptions, including when a car is being used for police, fire and rescue services and for certified medical issues.

But it is unlikely that this case will qualify.

Lancashire Constabulary referred a request for comment to the Metropolitan Police and later confirmed they would be looking into the matter.

Taking to Twitter, Scott Benton said: “Lancs Police do an amazing job, but I’m sure their time is better spent investigating serious crime which impacts on my constituents”.

Last year after a photo emerged of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer holding a beer during lockdown, he tweeted:

“All people, and politicians, should be treated equally under the law.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
