Green Councillor Faces Backlash Over Lamborghini Videos

The clips raise questions about image discipline for a party that urges drivers to cut fuel use.

Overview

  • Local outlets, which reported the supercar clips Thursday, said Baggy Khan posted videos of himself driving a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder.
  • The model shown is a V10 Huracán Spyder that specialist sites estimate returns under 20 miles per gallon.
  • Green group leader Hanif Alli said the footage came from a 2023 family wedding, where hiring luxury cars is common locally, and that the car was not Khan’s.
  • Social media users accused the newly elected Halliwell ward councillor of hypocrisy, and Khan replied on TikTok, “Who said councillors can’t drive cars like this?”
  • The party’s April push to cut some road speed limits to 55 mph for fuel efficiency sharpened criticism of the videos.
