Rishi Sunak uploaded a video to Instagram, in social media fail that showed the prime minister sitting in a moving vehicle without his seat belt on. Sunak was talking about the new round of funding for his government's levelling up scheme, but perceptive viewers noted the he wasn't wearing a belt.

The prime minister later apologised for the breach of road safety, accepting full responsibility for the 'error'. A spokesperson for No 10 said: 'The prime minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt. It was an error of judgment; he removed it for a short time to film a clip, which you’ve seen, but he accepts that was a mistake.'
