Why did they need two?

To do with security apparently.

And, if the plane crashed then we'd have to have a leadership contest all over again - doesn't bear thinking about

It is to do with protocol and security.

It was not their choice.

If her plane crashed- it would be just the same, no?

Agreed, ridiculous waste of money at a time when so many are suffering such hardship.

I'm on about if they both travelled on the same plane, not separately.

As well as more damage to the environment.

No doubt Liz Truss's ego will be well pleased. Arriving in state in her own private plane! A grand entrance. Fanning the flames of her need for fame.

Apparently her conversation with Nicola Sturgeon, whilst an opportunity to discuss politics with a head of state, was actually to ask Nicola how she managed to get herself featured in Vogue... twice!! Obviously more interested in fame than actual politics and networking with fellows in the same field.

Seemingly jealous of the wee toerag... and then saying she would ignore her.

This is our head of government!!

The fact of global warming doesn't seem to apply here.

And security. I better desist from the comment of birds and a stone!

Yes and all the gas guzzling cars in a motorcade! You couldnt make it up.

I wish we had Nicola Sturgeon. I dont agree with all her poltics but she is for Scotland and I admire her strength. She gives the twits in westminster a run for their money.

Theres nothing like looking after the environment.
And thats just nothing like looking after the environment.
Bluddy hypocrics.
What a great start she has made.
Well done Liz Truss,or is that no trust.

I really don't think Liz Truss would have any say in the matter that's up to her security team.
As for being gas guzzling cars the PMs car is armoured and armed police have to be big cars they are unlikely to drive around in a reliant Robin

Security.. the Royal family do the same. You won't get The Queen flying with Charles.. Or Charles and William.

So a new PM we never voted for travels by private jet to a Head of State we don't get to vote for to ask to form a government same with leaving former PM Crazy ? Two jets Call this democracy ?

Liz Truss doesn't care about the environment - if she did, she wouldn't have appointed Rees Mogg as energy minister

I'm on about if they both travelled on the same plane, not separately.

Yes, but what difference would it make? If her plane crashes, she is out. And if the plane they are both in crashes, she is out too. What happens to him is now irrelevant. So 2 planes not necessary.

But Boris and Liz ARE not Royalty are they? A complete waste of money in my opinion. The Royals don't travel together in case there is an accident more likely.

The RF use jets and helecopters all the time on their own interests and passtimes wasting public money and causing huge environmental impact they are climate change hypocrites How are they allowed to get away with it and being unacceptable

Unacceptable and unacceptable ????

Unaccountable spending public money every day on their interests and pastimes

I don't think 'waste of money' ever enters any of their heads. It's just a life of entitlement and 'part of the job'

In fairness to Liz Truss she had to do it as the new PM so she could be formally appointed by the Queen. There was no need for Boris Johnson to go to Balmoral, he could have resigned by letter.

Don't Easyjet fly to Scotland any more?

But this is totally different. Only one of them is the current PM, as explained above.

From a totally opposite point of view - William, Andrew, Edward all on one plane- yesterday but come to think of it not Harry ( ?)
