Labour Private Jet Spending Could Hire 240 Coppers
UK DOGE pored over all the recent Labour transparency returns to find out just how much ministers have been spending on the flights they claimed were an elitist habit when Tories were at it. Reminder: According to Starmer if you fly on government planes you don’t “get” what the public thinks because “the view on the ground is very different to that from his private jet”…
Labour ministers in the first three months following the election spent over £2 million on their private jet habit. £2,085,547.67 to be exact…
That’s £160,427 per week on jets. A large amount of that is thanks to Lammy and Starmer. Bonus points to employment minister Alison McGovern, who managed to spend £6,000 on flights within three weeks of being appointed…
At that rate Labour will spend £8.3 million on flights over a year. That’s enough to fund:
- The salaries of 240 Metropolitan police officers. Including allowances…
- Filling 115,863 potholes. Which themselves lead to a cost of £500 in repairs on average…
- Buying 6,952 hospital beds for the healthcare system.
Javier Milei flies commercial. UK DOGE recommends costs are cut here.
