Sunak apologized for an "error of judgement" soon after the video came out on Thursday, according to Downing Street, and it has been removed from Instagram.His political rivals have taken aim at his use of a private jet to make multiple short flights in recent days.He was fined while serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer for attending a Downing Street party in June 2020 that violated the government's rules on social distancing.
