The Prime Minister has been accused of having the ‘same disregard for the rules’ as Boris Johnson.

Rishi Sunak is not considering his position after being fined for failing to wear a seatbelt in a moving car, the Deputy Prime Minister has indicated.

Lancashire Constabulary on Friday announced it was fining the Prime Minister after he was spotted not wearing his seatbelt in an Instagram video filmed to promote levelling-up funding during a visit to Lancashire a day earlier. Asked about Labour’s claim that the episode made the Prime Minister a “laughing stock”, Mr Raab said: “I think you’ve got someone doing a very busy job – as many people do, so it’s no excuse – who’s made an inadvertent mistake. He’s put his hand up, he’s apologised for it.”

He previously paid one as chancellor, alongside Mr Johnson, amid the partygate scandal for attending a lockdown-busting gathering to mark the then-prime minister’s birthday.
