Rishi Sunak criticised for spending £500,000 on private jet hire in just two weeks
Rishi Sunak has reportedly spent more than £500,000 of taxpayers' money on private jets in just two weeks. The Prime Minister spent the money on three trips in November.
But the Prime Minister's team said that the £512,321 spent on private jets or RAF plane hire across the eight-day period was needed for “vital” engagements. Sunak had initially planned against going to the COP27 conference in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, but changed his mind after his predecessor Boris Johnson decided to attend.
Sunak flew out to Bali for a five-day trip on November 13. His jet hire costed £341,857 bill for jet hire and he spent £11,204 on personal costs. The Latvia and Estonia trip incurred travel costs of £62,498, with personal costs of £2,500. Scottish politics “The government can pretend to care about a greener future with their so called ‘Green Day’ but the reality is they are trashing their own promises.”
