Keir Starmer faces backlash for skipping queue at Madeira toboggan ride

Sir Keir Starmer faced backlash from holidaymakers after skipping a three-hour queue for a toboggan ride in Madeira. His family was escorted to the front while hundreds of tourists expressed their frustration, booing and calling for him to return to the back of the line. The incident occurred as many British tourists, including those from cruise ships, waited for the popular ride. Witnesses reported that the queue was halted when Starmer arrived, leading to discontent among those who had been waiting patiently. After his children boarded the ride, Starmer was driven to the bottom to meet them, further delaying other visitors. Many felt it was unfair for him to bypass the queue, highlighting the British reputation for patience in waiting.
