SIR Keir Starmer annoyed holidaymakers as he was ushered straight to the front of a three-hour queue for a holiday toboggan ride.
The 62-year-old PM’s limousine was escorted to the front of the huge line where his 16-year-old son and daughter, 13, were immediately shown to their seats on the ride on the Portuguese island of Madeira.
Several of the hundreds of British tourists near the front booed when they recognised the Labour leader and called out: “Get to the back of the queue.”
The queues had built up for the popular basket-style ride down the steep streets as several cruise ships had docked in the port.
Onlooker Russell Schacter, 64, from Ilford, Essex, told The Sun: “We arrived around 10 am 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 Keir Starmer 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.
“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.”
