King faces criticism after he forces FOUR ministers to fly 400 miles to his private Scottish mansion for a taxpayer-funded meeting… about carbon emissions!

The King was going through criticism final night time for forcing 4 Cupboard Ministers – together with the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt – to fly 400 miles to his personal mansion in Scotland for a taxpayer-funded assembly.

He was accused of an ‘outrageous waste of cash’ and local weather hypocrisy as a result of the assembly was held partly to formally appoint the brand new Web Zero Minister answerable for reducing carbon emissions.

Mr Hunt, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Privy Council President Penny Mordaunt and Vitality and Web Zero Secretary Claire Coutinho all flew on the identical aircraft to Ayrshire for the Privy Council assembly on Friday at taxpayers’ expense. 

Ordinarily Privy Council conferences are held month-to-month at Buckingham Palace or Windsor, however the King held the assembly at Dumfries Home to coincide with a celebration on Friday night time to have a good time the fifteenth anniversary of the general public opening of the property, which he purchased for £45 million in 2007.

The King is a well known local weather campaigner and yesterday morning opened a sustainable farming abilities centre on the Dumfries Home property. 

Just a few hours later he appeared to have flown to Doncaster racecourse, 230 miles away.

Final night time former Lib Dem MP Norman Baker, himself a Privy Council member, stated the King’s determination to host a gathering of the council in Scotland ‘drives a coach and horses by any declare he must be within the atmosphere,’ including: ‘That is an outrageous waste of cash by King Charles.’

A Authorities spokesman declined to say how a lot the flight value or if the aircraft was personal or industrial – however burdened that worth for cash was a precedence.
