Why did they need two?

If both were killed in a plane crash the PM then would be
Deputy PM, or Rishi Sunak it’s up to the Tory party.
Academic now but still a waste of money sending 2 planes.

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

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

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

Don't Easyjet fly to Scotland any more?

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.

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'

Unaccountable spending public money every day on their interests and pastimes

Unacceptable and unacceptable ????

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

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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

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 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.

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

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!

As well as more damage to the environment.

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

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.

It is to do with protocol and security.

It was not their choice.

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

To do with security apparently.
