EXCLUSIVE: Boris Johnson used a private jet to travel to north-west England on Thursday morning despite the journey taking just 3 hours by train, LBC's BenKentish can reveal.
Had he instead taken the 9.10am train from Euston, he would have arrived in Blackpool at 12.16pm – only around 50 minutes later than he did by flying.Paul Tuohy, Chief Executive of Campaign for Better Transport, said: "Flying to Blackpool sends entirely the wrong message about what sort of transport future we want. This is shocking from a Prime Minister who talks the talk on tackling climate change.
"We will be happy to post a train timetable to 10 Downing Street if he needs a little help to travel the clean, green, responsible way." "Just days after he has written off £4.3 billion lost to fraud, the Prime Minister is yet again playing fast and loose with taxpayers' cash. In November, Mr Johnson was slammed for using a government plane to fly home from the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
