So Miliband is snorkeling in the Caribbean whilst we all struggle with the cost of living back home. I couldn't hate this clown and this government more.

Another example of don't do as I do, do as I say

He's living it up while ordinary Brits struggle to keep their heads above water

Selfish pr**k

Unforgivable

Fury as Ed Miliband ‘has whale of a time’ snorkelling in Caribbean ‘while millions of Brits struggle to make ends meet’

@miribobs @DAaronovitch Because women tell lies I’m afraid . Fact.

@tomprimrose @DAaronovitch I must be missing something here. It’s legitimate cross examination.

Burnham boasts he is seizing EU deal 'with both hands' - as UK agrees to subsidise 'poorer' states, cut student fees, take Brussels rules, and let in 80,000 'youths' every year https://t.co/EM8KveQ2Ke

Just 1 lump, they might learn to share .
Entitled brats.
This ad is more disrespectful to older people than I can say. It's ghastly .

@PolitlcsUK It’s easy giving someone else’s money away.

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

Not very green, nor a good use of taxpayer funds, while the govt is asking you to pay more.

No wonder why Burnham refused to bring journalists with him, he doesn’t seem to enjoy scrutiny very much…

[Gillian Cadwallader @silloth1927]

@SuzanneEvans1 He is a greedy jealous creature. But all this adds to his fall

[Spirited1 @helen_spirit1]

So, Andy Burnham and his wife insisted the Prime Ministerial plane make a completely unnecessary extra flight to Manchester to collect them, simply because they couldn’t be arsed to get out of bed a bit earlier.

What terrible optics for a supposed “man of the people”.

Burnham’s Government Jet Manchester Diversion Costs Taxpayer £20,000 https://t.co/64zDOu4URJ

[Guido Fawkes @GuidoFawkes]

The government’s grandest plane, an A321 jet, took off from Stansted at 6.05 a.m. this morning. Burnham wasn't on it. It flew 34 minutes to Manchester to collect the PM, then set off for the Commonwealth summit in Antigua. Guido estimates the detour cost around £20,000 of taxpayer cash. Avanti not good enough for him?

Flight tracking data shows the jet landed in Manchester at 6.39 a.m. and left again at 8.06 a.m., heading for a refuelling stop in Newfoundland before the Caribbean. The government eventually publishes what every trip on the plane costs. Starmer’s same-day trip to Paris on in April came to £39,756 at roughly £20,000 a leg. Stansted to Manchester is shorter than Paris, but every additional leg brings its own landing and handling fees. About £18,000-20,000’s worth according to Guido’s fag packet maths…

The whole jaunt, there and back, comes to about 21 hours of flying. Based on Starmer’s £121,239 trip to Yerevan in May and Yvette Cooper’s £148,700 trip to Washington in December, long-haul flying on the plane costs between £9,500 and £12,400 an hour. That puts Burnham's full trip at about £250,000.

Burnham took the same government jet from Glasgow to Manchester in July to open No10 North, despite a choice of trains. When Liz Truss used the same plane to fly to Australia, @AngelaRayner called it a “ridiculous waste of half a million pounds on a private jet trip”. Thoughts on this one, Ange?
