Starmer axes Suank's government helicopter to millions of public funds
RISHI SUNAK’S government helicopter is to be grounded after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer axed the pricey chopper contract today.
The cancellation looks to save the government £40 million and brings to an end Mr Sunak’s favourite means of getting around the country.
The Tory premier attracted criticism for using helicopters even for fairly short journeys, including to Essex and Southampton, when travelling by train would be almost as fast and considerably cheaper.
