Sunak under fire over second jet flight for UK trip in a week

Prime minister flew to Scotland with RAF plane days after he flew by jet from London to Leeds

Rishi Sunak has been accused of wasting taxpayers’ money and making a mockery of the government’s strategy for tackling the climate crisis, after chartering a second private jet for a UK trip within a week.

The prime minister took a roughly 90-minute ride in an RAF plane to Scotland for a two-day visit, where he hold a meeting with the first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and announce the opening of two new freeports.
