Boris Johnson blew £800,000 painting Union Flag on ANOTHER prime ministerial plane

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.
