Labour has criticised what the party says is a culture of "lavish spending" in Whitehall after it was revealed that £145million of taxpayers’ money had been splashed on government credit cards.
The list of spending includes almost £345,000 in “restaurants and bars” by Foreign Office (FCDO) officials, as well as bills for VIP airport lounges, gifts from Fortnum & Mason and products from Ikea, Amazon and John Lewis.
