> Rishi Sunak shelled out more than £10,000 to fly by private helicopter to a glitzy Tory dinner in Wales at the weekend.
> The multi-millionaire Chancellor paid out of his own pocket for a return flight from Battersea heliport to the Conservative conference in Newtown, Powys.
I’m glad he’s making the rules on what the likes of us can afford, hope energy crisis isn’t hitting him too hard /s
I feel like Boris egged him on to do this.
But if you cut back on Netflix and Avocado toast….whilst working 80 hour weeks you’ll be just like him in a few years time
The only suprise here is that he used his own money to pay for it.
And expensed it back into his other pocket?
There’s no point pretending the blokes not obscenely wealthy and this is spare change to him. At least he paid it himself.
I mean jokes aside if I was rich enough to be riding a helicopter, I wouldn’t be. I swear half of billionaires tragically dying is because of a helicopter crash. In the oil and gas industry I heard offshore workers jokingly refer to them as flying coffins before now.
This is what Rishi would class a trickle down economics.
Kia in the garage was it?
I buy a £5 bath bomb from Lush (2py) and internally argue ‘you’re worth this, chill’ with ‘it’s £5 in bath water!’ – fighting luxury item spending guilt. This dude gets a 10,000 Uber.
Rich be riching but fuck me it hurts to compare. Should have worked harder in school/popped out the right vagina. Sorry mum.
Paid for with own money… until next month’s expenses claim goes in?
I’m surprised he even has the fucking balls to go to Wales after he spent billions upon billions during covid and turns round to Wales and says “we haven’t got enough funding to help you” WALES PAY TAX TO THE ENGLAND GOVERNMENT.
That’s probably not his money.
Well that’s all his climate points used up and it’s only May.
Thought he’d be taking the Kia Rio.
Really puts it into perspective doesn’t it
10 grand on a helicopter ride. That’s what I earn in a year. And he just spends it like it’s nothing
A man who will spend that on a days travel is not fit to decide anything about my finances
He’s married to a billionaire, of course he take £10k chapters everywhere. The outrage should be that people like this are running the country, I mean come on – are these people having issues with feeding their children, heating their homes or struggling to find an NHS dentist?

When you spend [£500k of taxpayer money](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rishi-sunak-focus-groups-rayner-b2084297.html) on focus groups trying to massage your image and somehow miss obvious questions like “should I casually blow ten grand on an evening out and just hope no-one notices?”
