The prime minister has been criticised by Labour after taking a private plane for a visit to Leeds yesterday morning.
Rishi Sunak took an RAF plane for his 200-mile trip up to Chapel Allerton to meet staff and patients at Rutland Lodge Medical Practice. Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner called for the prime minister to reveal 'how much money was wasted' on taking a plane rather than going by other means.
A spokesperson for Downing Street has defended the decision, saying Sunak flew due to "a great deal of pressure on his time". The UK Government has pledged to have a net zero carbon emissions economy by 2050.
