TORY ministers are using hugely expensive taxpayer-funded private jets instead of trains an average of over once a week, officials admit.
Rishi Sunak and his cabinet colleagues have taken 74 flights on the plush new aircraft since June last year.
The Prime Minister was slammed in January for using the jet for a jaunt around Tory targets in the North West, including a flight lasting just 28 minutes.
Train tickets to the area cost about £148, while the jet costs thousands and generates huge CO2 emissions.
Yesterday, it was revealed Sunak also borrowed a Tory donor's helicopter to get to an event despite it taking just 10 minutes longer by train.
