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.

Brexit: Sunak wins vote but still not out of woods as UKIP tweet is epic

March 22, 2023

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.”

NEW: Rishi Sunak took a private jet to Leeds yesterday, No 10 say, because 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.”

NEW: Rishi Sunak travelled to Leeds on board a fourteen-passenger jet on Monday.

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…

Private jets
Private healthcare
Private schools
Private security

Does Rishi Sunak do anything that a ordinary person does?

Actually considering he didn’t know how to scan his bank card, the answer should be no.

As usual one rule for the people, and another for the Tories😬 https://t.co/w3LfsLjJJ9

So much of the PR around Sunak attempts to portray bland frugality: a man focused on work, whose only guilty pleasure is the odd can of coke (i.e. the opposite of Johnson). But flying a distance – in a private jet – that takes 2hrs 15 mins by train is ridiculously extravagant. https://t.co/z5YZr1MI2d

Glad to see the richest Prime Minister we've ever had wasn't affected by the strikes. Or the climate crisis. Or the cost of living. https://t.co/6nnoDNtkaB

If I was a politician constantly accused of being wildly out of touch, I'd get on a train, even if it took eight minutes longer than a personal jet. Fuck it, I'd take the Megabus. https://t.co/iy3UZmbmI0

The same PM says the country can't afford decent pay rises for nurses, ambulance crews, teachers, fireighters…

✈️ Yesterday @RishiSunak arrived for his visit in #Keighley on a private plane.

💰 If train services between London and #Bradford District were better he could have avoided wasting tax payers money.

🗣️ @CarolineLucas is right – this is indefensible.https://t.co/T65zpHzgcn

And this from Just Stop Oil…

Rishi Sunak took a private jet to Leeds because he thinks he's rich enough to avoid the worst of climate breakdown and that everyone else is expendable. ✈️🔥 https://t.co/y92maTbJtz
