Rishi Sunak mocked over jogging police officers next to his motorcade as he's compared to Kim Jong-Un

A video shared on Twitter shows a police officer on a bike leading the convoy, shouting “out the way please” and dispersing members of the public from the road.One cop on a bike appeared to push a member of the public out of the way ahead of the convoy.One police officer was filmed confirming it was "the Prime Minister" after being asked by an onlooker who was being escorted down Whitehall.

Social media users were baffled by the large escort, describing it as “a tremendous waste of police manpower”. Others compared it to the moment 12 bodyguards dressed in suits ran in formation alongside leader Kim Jong-Un’s car as he left a meeting with South Korean leader Moon Jae-in, in 2018.North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is frequently accompanied by running security guards.One Twitter user wrote: “Not necessary at all. I can’t understand how this is a good use of the few police officers we have.”

A government source said it was believed the Metropolitan Police’s tactics were to help the convoy evade protestors from Extinction Rebellion, who had threatened to disrupt the marathon. Asked whether the bizarre escort was related to Extinction Rebellion, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “On security issues, that is one for the Met Police, rather than us.”
