RISHI Sunak cost taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds by taking VIP flights in his first year as Prime Minister.

An audit of the private-jet-loving PM's travel shows he ran up a £43,730 bill with the Ministry of Defence for 20 domestic flights on RAF planes and helicopters in his first 11 months.

That works out at an average of £2,186 per flight. Tory donors have also shelled out for £85,583 worth of domestic flights in the same period.
