The incident occurred on October 2, 2022, when he was clocked by a speed camera, driving along the Albert Embankment, central London in his VW Golf towards Lambeth Palace.

This revelation comes at a critical moment for Marin, who is set to leave office following her party’s defeat in the recent general election. The centre left coalition, under her leadership, faced a nail biting race against the National Coalition Party and the right wing populist Finns Party, ultimately losing by a narrow margin.
At just 37 years old, Sanna Marin made history as the world’s youngest prime minister when she assumed office in 2019. Her tenure garnered immense public support, particularly for her deft handling of the Covid 19 crisis and successful navigation of Finland’s path to NATO membership.
As the Finnish government enters a caretaker phase, Ms Marin’s depar alarming increase in rock movement over the past two decades, with the landslide now progressing at a rate of approximately one metre per year. Experts continue to investigate countermeasures but have already ruled out controlled explosions or protective walls due to impracticality.
