Liz Truss flew to Australia to strike her pointless trade deal – on a private jet – at a cost to taxpayers of £500,000.

That’s a lot of taxpayers money and precious carbon to spend flying to Australia to screw over British farmers with the new trade deal. https://t.co/dGiBaSwD4O

We’re so clever that we’ve just spent 20 nurses’ annual salaries for Liz Truss to take selfies in Australia for a few days and if that isn’t a great country I don’t know what is. #idiocracy #BrexitBritain

Suggestion: she can personally plant all the trees to offset it. Should keep her quietly occupied for a while. https://t.co/RG5JZ1rhBO

As a taxpayer, I don’t mind paying £500,000 towards Liz Truss flying to Australia, it’s paying for the return ticket that I object to.
