I Wonder Why This Number Is Rising So...

When James Cleverly was Home Secretary of the now Disgraced, Defunct and Beaten Conservative Govt.He spent £653 per person on in flight catering for him and his cronies on a one -day trip to Rwanda.He also chartered a private jet at a cost of £165,000 of taxpayers money. You can see where the black hole in the economy handed over to Labour came from with expenses like this.
Gulliver, I posted this on one of your previous rants, and it still stands.
"Gulliver. If you want to be taken seriously on these pages, why don't you join the up to date world, and discuss things that really affect the lives of normal people, such as Starmer granting illegal immigrants the right to live in this country, the abolishment of winter fuel allowance for pensioners, the reported tax hikes on fuel duty, the early release of prisoners etc etc. These are the things that matter, not your daily rants on Johnson the Royal Family and now unsubstantiated claims."
Looking at it the problem seems to be that it is the Governments airbus not a commercial flight so the cost is higher as no economy of scale. What seems to be forgotten is that Labour will have to use it too and the costs will be similar.
The alternative is for them to fly business, but personally I would rather they didnt a) because they are a target and I'd rather not be next to them if the plane is attacked and b) because I wouldnt want my flight held up because of some self righteous person protesting about what (whichever) official is trying to do.
