BORIS JOHNSON has been slammed for “playing fast and loose” with taxpayers’ cash after jumping on a private jet to Blackpool instead of catching a three-hour train. 

The PM flew from Stansted to Warton on a charter flight on Thursday, with the total trip from Downing Street to Blackpool estimated at two hours and 30 minutes. 

This is only an hour less than the three-and-a-half-hour journey the PM could have taken by train from London Euston, LBC reported.
