Police are being urged to investigate after a video emerged of Boris Johnson allegedly not wearing a seatbelt in what appears to be a moving vehicle. In a video being widely shared on social media, the former prime minister is heard urging Derbyshire Conservatives ahead of Thursday’s local elections to “get as many people as possible to turn out and vote for us”.
Mr Johnson does not look to have been wearing a seatbelt in the 42-second clip which appeared to have been self-recorded. The Liberal Democrats have called on the police to investigate a “potential breach of the law”.
The message was said to have been shared on Twitter by Derby North MP Amanda Solloway but seems to have since been deleted. Derbyshire Police said there is “no information” to suggest the former Tory leader filmed the video while in the county.
