Rishi Sunak has been criticised after flying back to London from Dorset last night only to then fly to Cornwall this morning.
The Prime Minister was in Lulworth Camp in Dorset yesterday afternoon for a visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mr Sunak flew back to London by helicopter.
Mr Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, then used a plane to travel to St Austell in Cornwall this morning for a visit at 9am. Lulworth Camp is approximately a three-hour drive from St Austell.
The Liberal Democrats questioned why Mr Sunak had not stayed overnight in the South West of England instead and accused him of playing a "reckless game with CO2 emissions".
Wera Hobhouse, the party’s climate change spokeswoman, said Mr Sunak had chosen to "waste taxpayer money on expensive private helicopters and jets" and appeared to believe he is "above using trains".
Mr Sunak has previously faced criticism for shunning train travel to get around the country and instead preferring to use RAF planes.
Downing Street has insisted that decisions on the premier’s travel will "always be done in the interests of what’s the most effective use of his time".
