    Three randoms, a couple of journalists and his mum.

    Journalists frequently now get their news from randoms who re-post on social media.

    I was listing all the stuff he could do that was worse that other members of his party have done while in parliament.

    The only other thing he did on the list is turn up to a lockdown party (looking very uncomfortable and nerdy) and get fined.

    The media are pissed he's not Boris.

    I think what's at issue here is that when putting a piece out on social media not wearing a seat belt can send the wrong message. It is irresponsible and as there's public evidence, along with an admission, he ought to be fined for it.

    £100-£500 fine, sadly not any penalty points yet but hopefully soon.

    sadly not as high as Covid fines

    You'll be up in court yourself for using racist language.

    Working remotely for a tax haven accused of corruption while suppose to be voting in Parliament?

    Being dodgy with your tax affairs and having to have a quiet settlement with HMRC to pay the tax you owe?

    Setting up a company that buys PPE that is completely unfit for purpose in multiple ways while being a Tory Peer in the Lord and being taken to Court over it?

    Challenging Steve Bray to a boxing match?

    Using language that incites racial hatred?

    Sexually assaulting your staff members?

    Watching porn in parliament?

    Getting fined for breaking Covid lockdown rules for partying or having an affair while telling everyone else including the Queen (RIP) to not mix with other people?

    Don't care much about the adults they know what they are doing and are cleaning the gene pool of their stupidity.
    As well as taking the head off of the person in the front seat, who is probably wearing a seat belt. I always make sure anyone behind me is wearing one, for my own safety.

    You mean like none of the far right press tore into Diane Abbot for drinking a can of GnT on a bus?

    As for your link to the accident, where both parties exchanged details and the politician went to a police statement to give a statement, your headline doesn’t reflect what happened, but we’ve come to expect that.
