TEN trigger-happy Tory MPs have received nearly £22,000 worth of donated shooting days and training over the past five years, the Star can reveal today.

Since the beginning of 2015, a total of £21,753 in shooting days, hotel stays, and an instructor’s course were accepted by the MPs, according to the parliamentary register of members’ interests.

The revelations come mere days after Prime Minister Boris Johnson exempted shooting groups from the “rule of six.”
