is under fire for taking yet another taxpayer-funded private jet flight to promote levelling up – as a Tory MP admitted using Britain’s ‘unreliable’ train service instead would be madness., to Blackpool, and later took a 28-minute hop to Teesside airport to visit Darlington.
Critics said the trips wasted money and made a mockery of his government’s jet zero strategy pledge to cut pollution from flights to help achieve net zero emissions in the UK by 2050.By car, the trip would take around four and a half hours. A train from London Euston to Blackpool takes just under three hours, with a single fare at £73.40, or £189.80 during peak time. First class could cost £257.But passengers on the 7.16am he could have taken arrived 14 minutes late yesterday.
But Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said: ‘His expensive private jet habit is costing the environment and taxpayer dear. He’s swanning around like a washed-up A-lister courtesy of the public, making a mockery of his own government’s “zero-jet” strategy.’Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper said: ‘It’s simply ridiculous he can’t get a train like the rest of the British public.’In Morecambe, the PM told reporters: ‘I travel around so I can do lots of things in one day.
Mr Sunak last night apologised for a ‘brief error of judgment’. He ‘fully accepts this was a mistake and apologises’, his spokesman added. ‘The prime minister believes everyone should wear a seatbelt.’ As chancellor, Mr Sunak was fined £50 in 2022 for breaking Covid lockdown rules at ex-PM Boris Johnson’s birthday do in No.10.
