Rishi Sunak playing 'a reckless game' with CO2 emissions as two more private flights confirmed 

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to confirmation from No.10 that Rishi Sunak travelled from Dorset to London via helicopter on Wednesday evening, then from London to Cornwall by plane on Thursday morning, Liberal Democrat Energy and Climate Change Spokesperson Wera Hobhouse MP said: 

"Surely it would have been more convenient for the Prime Minister to stay in Dorset overnight and head onwards to Cornwall in the morning? Instead Rishi Sunak chose to waste taxpayer money on expensive private helicopters and jets. 

"Since taking on the Premiership, Sunak has played a reckless game with CO2 emissions and rendered any green targets pledged by his Government as laughable. 

"He should not be above using trains to get to and from his commitments, this is just more proof that Sunak is totally out of touch and taking voters for granted."
