MPs hit out at the state of flights from Belfast to London, with the DUP’s Sammy Wilson alleging “you can fly to Australia cheaper”.

Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said he had “gone soft” by granting an urgent question to DUP MP for Strangford Jim Shannon, on “belatedly announced cancellations of flights”.
