Jeremy Vine accused of making cyclists look like 'privileged idiots' in bus rant

got a ticking off from his followers after he shared a video of him cycling through central London early in the morning. In the clip, he is seen navigating through the busy roads next to several double-decker buses. At one point, the number 14 going Russell Square gets a shade too close to the 59-year-old, who repeatedly beeps his horn to let the driver know he's there. He said in a voiceover: "I'm realising that I was almost knocked down by a bus which said 'your bush, your rules'."

As the bus moves into the right-hand lane, which Jeremy states should indicate that he must be turning left. However, the bus continued straight, much to the chagrin of Jeremy who fumed "this guy is all over the shop". He continued: "I can't be expected to know what you're about to do if you can't choose the lane you're in."

If Jeremy was expecting support or sympathy from his X followers he must have been sorely disappointed. One user replied: "You have to give way to busses. So that's on you." Another person added: "I cycle in London every day, and I must say you are making us cyclists look like privileged idiots. The bus driver did nothing wrong." And someone else fumed: "You didn't pay attention and are completely unaware of the turn radius of a large bus you sped. maybe if you drove a vehicle you would actually understand."

It's been a hectic week for who got bristly over Brexit during his show today, as guest Samuel Kasumu insisted he had a "great example of why leaving the was a good idea". The heated exchange led to the host declaring: "I don't care!"

A clearly dismayed Jeremy tackled the thorny topic of 's pricey new import tariffs, quizzing: "Do you think we'll rejoin the EU as a result of this because we all need to stand together?" Samuel, a strategist who was a former Special Advisor to Prime Minister , was unconvinced. "You can stand together without being an official part of a bloc, which is exactly what we're doing with things like defences, , etc," he retorted.

Meanwhile, looking at the board detailing the steep tariffs doled out to European countries - for example, 61% for Switzerland, compared to just 10% for the UK, he argued: "I think this is a good example of why leaving the was such a good idea."

"The big economic superpowers in the future will be the likes of Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan," Samuel rhymed off, pointing to rapidly growing population sizes. However, an incredulous-sounding Jeremy exclaimed with what sounded like disbelief: "Nigeria?" Tessa Dunlop then chimed in to challenge that Britain was too focused on America, quizzing: "Do you know what percentage American trade accounts for in the total global economy?"

"Ooh, I don't care really," he retorted witheringly before she dropped the bombshell: "13%. 87% of the world is waiting to trade with free trade Great Britain," she insisted. However, Jeremy shot back: "We're nine years on and we're still waiting for these trade deals - we were told Liz Truss was doing them, [but] she couldn't even win her seat back in Norfolk!"
