UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Starmer's Foreign Trips Cost Taxpayers £4.2M. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On March 25, new figures reveal that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's 39 foreign trips in less than two years have cost taxpayers 4.2 million pounds. In the last three months of 2025 alone, eight international visits racked up 1.4 million pounds, covering destinations like Brazil for the UN climate summit, India on a trade mission, and South Africa for the G20 summit. Highlight the irony, noting Labour's past attacks on former Prime Minister Rishi Sunek for pricey private jet travel where they promised big, savings on ministerial johns, opposition voices and taxpayer watchdogs argue Starmer is dodging accountability at home while maxing out public funds abroad. The government counters that these outings boost Britain's global standing, attract billions in investments, create tens of thousands of jobs, and safeguard national interests.
