Britain’s top diplomat is making a better fist than Keir at wooing Reform voters. The taxi driver is far from reliable and appears the original 'taxigate' atercation in which Lammy told the taxi driver to shove his fare maybe more than justified.
French police have charged a taxi driver with stealing luggage and cash from UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his wife Nicola Green.
The driver allegedly sped off with the couple's luggage after a row over a fare for the 360-mile journey from Forli, in Italy, to the French ski resort of Flaine, in Haute-Savoie.
The driver insisted he was owed 700 euros (£590) in cash for part of the journey not covered by an upfront payment to a booking service.
But the Foreign Office said in a statement the fare had been paid in full before they set off on their private holiday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz9ygl5g5n9o
