This is the moment Keir Starmer faced a crowd full of boos after jumping a three hour queue on family holiday.

Footage circulating online shows the Prime Minister being driven to the front of the line 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 yelling: "Get to the back of the queue”.

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 stood in a busy queue for hours.
Footage shared on TikTok by @sophieontheriviera showed droves of tourists lining up for the ride with the Prime Minister bypassing them.
During the clip one holidaymaker could be heard saying "that's so funny".
One user commented: "It would be a security risk to stand in line, doesn’t anyone get that."
However, another user who disagreed said: "He should get in line like everyone else, his not there in his capacity as UK PM. He's on holiday like everyone else."
Another user, seemingly in agreement, said: "What gives him the right to go to the front, shocking behaviour."

Government sources said local police had advised him to skip the queue, fearing it would not be sensible for the Prime Minister to be standing outside for hours.
Onlooker Russell Schacter, 64, from Ilford, told The Sun: "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.
"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."
