While those are observably facts it’s not whether she got preferential treatment or not that is relevant. The very act of seeking it would call into question - and rightly so - the professional conduct of Ministers.
Where else is she trying to further her own interests, financial, reputational or otherwise over the interests of this great nation?

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
and for a little whataboutery.
When Labour are in power we can expect them to look after the pennies. I'm sure Rachel Reeves will stop flying first class on £11K on taxpayers dollar, when she's chancellor.

At least you recognise it for what it is.

Out of touch yes (hence replacing the original photo), a breach of rules probably not. They’re only two cheeks of the same arse when there’s a Conservative scandal.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Apart from the fact that Rachel Reeves flew business class, not first class, the fares for business are a lot cheaper than first and the fares were paid for through donations rather than by the taxpayer, it's a scandal alright...

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
I think Suella should be deported: her choice should be Mauritius, Kenya or Dallas, Texas.

Well called out. So not even proper whataboutery.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
The last time I had a role that came with the possibility of long-haul business travel the company rule was business class for all flights exceeding 4 hours. This was because they expected you to be able to get off the plane and work at the other end, and at have at least the possibility of working during the flight if need be.
TBH I’d expect any senior government minister traveling on government business to be in business class for the same reasons.

My mum did it last week on Teams. The in-person sessions were fully booked up for two months but spaces were available online. It was subcontracted by the Metropolitan Police to AA Drivetech.

A party donor paid for the flight, and a Labour spokeswoman said donations relating to the trip will be declared “in the usual manner”.
