Boris Johnson blew nearly £800,000 of taxpayers’ cash painting a union flag on the prime ministerial plane, we can reveal.
The then-Prime Minister triggered fury in 2020 when it emerged the Government spent £900,000 respraying an RAF Voyager so he could fly around the world in a red, white and blue jet.
The Airbus A330, which is also used as an air-to-air refuelling tanker - was originally military grey. Now, a freedom of information request by the Taxpayers’ Alliance has found he splashed another £800,000 sprucing up a smaller Airbus A321 which the Government leases from charter firm Titan Airways.
