Rishi Sunak was fined by police last night after he posted a video to his Instagram showing him not wearing a seatbelt.

Downing Street said the Prime Minister will pay the fine and “fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised.

He becomes the second PM found to have broken the law in office after Boris Johnson was fined for Partygate.

It is also the second fixed penalty notice Mr Sunak has received in less than a year.

He was fined by police in April for attending a lockdown-busting gathering in No10 to celebrate Boris Johnson’s 56th birthday when he was chancellor.

In his first speech when he became PM in October, Mr Sunak pledged a premiership with “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level” but that promise has now been thrown into disarray.
