Plane
Sorry I don't have a link for this but sure some bright spark on here will be able to find one.
No 10 have confirmed RAF voyager PM and Royal Family use is being repainted in the colours of the union flag.
Will cost £900,000
Boris Johnson won’t find an extra £20 a week to support the most vulnerable in society and help parents feed their children in these difficult times.
But he can find almost a million pounds to paint a plane.
Westminster is broken. Surely we can do better.

Why are the "vulnerable" any more badly off than anybody else. If they don't work (as many of them don't, which is among the things that makes them "vulnerable") they've lost no income because of Covid. They already get £20 pw for their first child and £13 a week for subsequent children. Why should the taxpayer (note, the taxpayer, not the Prime Minister) pay any more to help them feed their children?
As mentioned, the aircraft was due a repaint anyway. It will be used to transport the Royal Family and politicians around the world to drum up trade. The revenue from that trade will help pay the Child Benefit and other benefits that the "vulnerable" (I do love how that term is becoming increasingly popular) already receive.

I am sure the paint has far more important qualities than withstanding friction and looking .It don't come cheap. POTUS has a certain paint covering over AF1 and all the Presidential Helicopters. Someone,once,for a jape got close to a presidential chopper in the back garden of certain premises in London and put an amusing adhesive sticker for George Bush Snr to chuckle at on entering. Heads in the Presidential secret sevice rolled and a back up chopper was hastily flown in. The helicopter needed a complete paint job at the cost of thousands of dollars.
