Downing Street has defended Rishi Sunak’s decision to visit a Leeds hospital on an RAF jet rather than take a train.

The prime minister is facing demands he reimburses the Treasury for the cost of the “out of touch” trip.

On Monday morning the prime minister visited Rutland Lodge Medical Practice.

A photograph posted to the No.10 Flikr account shows Sunak boarding the plane.

Defending the move, the PM’s spokesperson said there was “a great deal of pressure” on the prime minister’s time.

“The transport the prime minister takes will vary and always be done in the interest of what’s most effective,” they said.

A train journey from London’s Kings Cross station to Leeds takes just over two hours.

Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson Christine Jardine branded Sunak a “joke”.

Rishi Sunak never ceases to underline just how out of touch he is,” she said.

“What does he have to say to all those commuters who didn’t have the option to take a jet to work when his government failed to get the strikes called off

“After this own goal, Rishi Sunak may find himself photoshopped out by his own business secretary.

“Rishi Sunak owes the public an apology and should consider reimbursing the Treasury for this waste of taxpayers’ money.”

On Tuesday Grant Shapps, the business secretary was caught having posted a photograph of himself having edited Boris Johnson out of the picture.

Sunak’s visit to Leeds came amid warnings of a crisis in the NHS and strikes by nurses and ambulance workers.

Talks between unions and ministers broke down without a resolution yesterday.
