Tory leader Rishi Sunak’s green credentials have been called into question after he took a VERY short private flight.
So where did he go? Spain? France? Isle of White?
Nope…Leeds.
He flew up to visit a hospital and No 10 said used the plane as “it was the most efficient use of his limited time.”
Maybe he was just scared of bumping into Mick Lynch at Kings Cross, but we will never know.
Jet-zero
As Joe.co.uk Ava Santina tweeted: “It comes after the government last July pledged a “jet-zero” strategy.”
Labour has since challenged Rishi Sunak to say how much money he “wasted” by using a jet to travel from London to Leeds yesterday.
Angela Rayner, the deputy Labour leader, said:”Families will be rightly angered by this show of extravagance by Rishi Sunak.
“Patients and staff are crying out for action from this government in the midst of a crisis in our NHS while the prime minister jets from London to Leeds for a photo op.
“The prime minister must come clean about how much taxpayers’ money was wasted on this 36-minute plane journey for a three-hour visit at the height of a cost of living crisis.”
Reactions
The news of the flight has gone down like a led balloon…
