Surely it's some kind of medical condition?

I don't have a problem with Starmer using private jets but when Sunak and Cameron did it they were widely criticised which  is why the word hypocritical has been used. Something that hasn't been mentioned is the number of cabinet appointments Starmer has made by putting individuals into the Lords rather than giving the jobs to elected Labour MPs.  Sunak was widely criticised for appointing Cameron as Foreign Secretary.

I was critical of Cameron's appointment for 2 reasons:

Firstly, he called the Brexit referendum to settle the ongoing split in his own party, then when the result of the vote of said referendum came through he walked away. Says little about him.

Secondly, he was widely reported by friendly sources that he was "bored ****less" since leaving office, and wanted "something to do". Well I'm sorry, but if that's the case then he should put his money where his mouth is and do something for the 'big society' which he championed as a salve for austerity.

Considering he's only been PM just a over a week he's provided plenty of ammo for people to attack him.

 

Maybe he shouldn't have made such grand claims and statements if he's going to be caught doing the things he and his party was so against!

Could he have gotten there in less time (and expense), by train or car?

 

That was the primary complaint re: Sunaks extensive private jet usage.
