Keir Starmer Admits Using Private Jet for Campaign Travel to Scotland Amid Hypocrisy Claims
May 31, 2024, 10:25 AM
Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, has admitted to using a private jet to travel from Wales to Scotland for a campaign event in Glasgow. This comes shortly after he criticized Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for using a helicopter. Starmer defended his use of the private jet, stating it was the most efficient way to travel during a busy election campaign and that the carbon emissions were offset. The trip was for his Great British Energy announcement. The incident has sparked accusations of hypocrisy from political opponents, particularly the Conservative Party, who highlighted Labour's stance on clamping down on jet use by ministers.
