Sir Keir Starmer’s jet-setting has cost the taxpayer nearly £700,000 in his first three months in Downing Street, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The Prime Minister’s foreign trips cost £161,000 more than Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss combined over the equivalent period since 2021.
Sir Keir has been slated for the frequency of his trips abroad, earning him the nickname ‘Never Here Keir’.
He was accused of hypocrisy over travelling to Germany by private jet, having previously attacked Rishi Sunak for private jet use.
The flight to see the Euro 2024 final in Berlin was with a family member who was flying with him at public expense, according to government records.
His trip to New York for the UN General Assembly was £236,020 – nearly double what it cost for Liz Truss to fly to the same event in 2022.
