This is the astonishing moment Theresa May’s security-tight convoy left drivers dumbfounded as it went the wrong way around a roundabout.
The procession was led by a police motorcyclist and followed by Mrs May’s silver Jaguar XJ and three official vehicles.
The clip then shows the entourage approaching a roundabout — before swinging a right and going the wrong way.
The footage, which was filmed by freelance photographer Phil Gee, was shot as the Prime Minister left her home this morning in Sonning, Berkshire.

Mr Gee’s partner, who was driving at the time, exclaimed: ‘You cheeky bu**ers! Oh, you’ve got to be joking!’
The photographer, 38, told MailOnline: ‘It’s not something you see every day — the Prime Minister coming out of her property to go to work.
‘I just happened to notice all of the police cars and we thought it looked interesting.’
And describing his reaction upon seeing the entourage heading the wrong way around the roundabout, Mr Gee said he thought it was ‘pretty cool’.

He added: ‘But, to other road users, they might be like “what’s going on here?”
‘My partner said “never mind about her, what about all the traffic chaos?”‘
He said that because police stopped drivers at the roundabout to clear a route for Mrs May, tailbacks were beginning to form.
The Metropolitan Police – who are in charge of the Prime Minister’s transport security – have been contacted for comment.
