Rishi Sunak defends jet use after Labour 'A-list' jibe
Rishi Sunak has said he makes domestic flights to be more " effective" at his job after Labour accused him of an " A-list" lifestyle at taxpayers' expense.
The PM used a French-made RAF jet for the 200-mile journey to Blackpool to promote his " levelling up" policy.
It is the third time he has made domestic flights this month, following trips to Yorkshire and Scotland.
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner said it made a mockery of the PM's environmental strategy.
She accused Mr Sunak of " jetting around the country on taxpayers' money like an A-list celeb" after the 41 minute flight.
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper also criticised the decision, calling the Prime Minister " out of touch with the rest of society".
" It is simply ridiculous that he can't get a train like the rest of The British public do, " she added.
Challenged about his decision to fly during a visit to Morecambe, Mr Sunak said: " I travel around so I can do lots of things in one day".
" I'm not travelling around just for My Own enjoyment, " he told a local audience. " I travel to make myself as effective as possible on all of your behalf".
Conservative MP Mark Jenkinson also defended The Flight , tweeting that it would be " madness" for Mr Sunak to have made The Trip via train given the " unreliable" Avanti West Coast service.
The Train operator, which runs services between London and the North West , has been over delays and poor service this year.
In a follow-up tweet, he added that even if the trains were running perfectly, travelling via train would still take longer and present a " security risk" for the Prime Minister .
Mr Sunak reportedly made The Trip to Blackpool from Raf Northolt early on Thursday morning using a 14-seater Dassault Falcon 900LX.
Pictures of the Prime Minister boarding the same model of plane were posted by his media team ahead of A Trip to Leeds earlier this month.
Some of Mr Sunak's recent predecessors - including Boris Johnson and David Cameron - have also faced criticism for using domestic flights.
Mr Johnson was criticised for using planes to travel back from the UN COP climate summit in Glasgow in 2021, and a weekend away with His Family in Cornwall in 2022.
Sir Keir Starmer and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves are currently in Switzerland to speak at the high-profile business leaders' summit in Davos.
It is understood that the pair flew commercially to The Summit , the UK would be " open for business" if they win power at The Next general Election .
