has seemingly angered tourists after appearing to push to the front of a queue for an attraction.
The Prime Minister and footage circulating online appeared to show his limousine being driven to the front of a queue for a toboggan ride.
In the video, Sir Keir and his family are ushered to the front of a queue in which some people had waited as long as three hours, before his son and daughter were shown to their seats on the ride.
Several of the onlookers, many of whom were British, reportedly booed as they recognised the person being taken to the front of the line, with one being heard to shout: “Get to the back of the queue.”
The popular ride allows users to slide down a hill close to a busy dock popular with cruise ships.
Don’t miss…
Not something you see every day ?????? @KeirStarmer PM
Onlooker Russell Schacter, 64, from Ilford, Essextold : “We arrived around 10am and queued with everyone else for ages, even though we had pre-booked the rides.
“There were lots of Brits off the cruise ships and everyone was typically patient and well mannered until we had finally got right to the front when the queue was halted.
“I happened to be videoing just after 1pm at the moment when I recognised arriving in a car with his security team in another vehicle.
“He stood there smiling as his two kids were taken straight to the front of the queue and were put straight on the ride.
“But people who had been lining up all morning were not quite so happy and quite a few boos and calls of ‘get to the back of the queue’ went up.

That sled’s going down faster than Keir’s approval rating.

“Once his kids went off, he was then driven straight to the bottom of the toboggan run to meet them. We went behind them and were held up again as his kids were collected and driven away.
“He’s obviously in a privileged position and has security issues but it was still a difficult pill to swallow to see him pushing to the front after we queued for three hours.
“Brits are famous for being good at queuing and it was a difficult pill to swallow.”
Social media users were split on the matter, with many pointing out that it would be unrealistic and unsafe for all if the leader of the UK was stood in a busy queue for hours.
