The effrontery of this man knows no bounds. Does this use of the ministerial jet come under the heading of 'perks of the job'? He should be sent a bill for this trip. Although he would probably offset this against his 'allowable' expenses.
Quote: "The Ministerial Code, which was refreshed by Mr Johnson just last month, states: “Ministers must ensure that they always make efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements". End quote.
This is a highly visible example of Boris doing just what he wants, when he wants, and leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. Is he that powerful that no-one dares to tell him that he shouldn't spend taxpayers' money for something which is so obviously 'personal'?
On the assumption that he will not be in office after the next General Election (if not before), is he just taking what he can whilst he can? If so we, the taxpayers, are in for a very expensive time. How many other ways is he spending taxpayers' money for his personal gratification to which I have to contribute from my pension?
