Downing Street today defended Rishi Sunak‘s use of a taxpayer-funded helicopter to fly to Southampton and back – rather than use the train or a car.
The Prime Minister, who has previously raised eyebrows with his use of aircraft for short journeys, made the trip from London to the South Coast to visit a pharmacy.
It is around 70 miles as the crow flies from the capital to Southampton.
No10 stressed Mr Sunak’s choice of transport was the ‘best use’ of his time due to the ‘pressure’ of his schedule.
But critics accused the wealthy PM of being ‘wildly out of touch’ with the British public and ‘throwing taxpayer money away so he can travel in luxury’.
The train from Waterloo to Southampton Central takes a little over an hour and a quarter, with an off-peak return ticket costing around £53.
Mr Sunak made the visit to coincide with his announcement of plans to expand the role of pharmacies to allow them to issue prescriptions for a number of common conditions.
