Liz Truss takes private plane to Australia 'blowing £500k of taxpayer cash'

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss faces fury after splashing “at least £500,000” of taxpayers money on a private plane to Australia, it has been claimed.

Campaigners have accused Ms Truss of exuding “shocking privilege” by riding an “outrageous source of carbon emissions”.

Ms Truss set off for Australia on January 18 at noon from London’s Stansted Airport.
