Boris Johnson was quizzed during Prime Minister's Questions about a private chartered flight from Inverness Airport to Moscow, which took place a day after the Russian flight ban came into force.

Drew Hendry, the SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, highlighted reports in the Press and Journal newspaper of a memo confirming UK government approval of the flight and the apparent conflict with the transport secretary accusing Inverness Airport of"failing to comply" with the NOTAM regulations.

"He must then answer the pressing questions over why this flight was allowed to take off and who and what was on it. "These are important questions following a raft of reports showing how much Russian money is swilling about Tory coffers."Transport secretary in bizarre promotional video by government for 'Great British Rail Sale'

Highland and Islands Airports Ltd, the operator of Inverness Airport, said it had acted in accordance with the regulations. It said:"We carried out the instructions received from the authorities at the time, to the letter. Our actions were correct and appropriate, and this has been borne out by an examination of the record."

So immigration don't know who was on the flight? Another sleazy cover up.

no doubt one of their donors running away !

People think private jets to Russia are powered by aviation fuel.....this is wrong.....they are actually powered by the use of large amounts of brown envelopes!

As always they will issue a very redacted response. Or maybe just lie.

DickWinchester I'm sure BBCScotlandNews have it covered.

It was clearly retuning after issuing BoJo with next set of orders and payoff.

Most Red Wall seats worse off under Boris Johnson despite levelling up promise86% of Red Wall seats have fallen further behind London and the South East 'since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister' – despite hype around the levelling up agenda, Joe Mayes of Bloomberg tells James O'Brien. mrjamesob | Joe_Mayes mrjamesob Joe_Mayes But with the right red meat from the Tory press, and continued promises of levelling up, they’ll keep voting for Boris, despite their reality. mrjamesob Joe_Mayes The whole levelling up thing is just a load of rubbish. They don't plan on following through with it. It's the same as them saying they'll build 40 new hospitals, or Johnson saying they'll build a nuclear power plant every year. It's just lies. mrjamesob Joe_Mayes Sadly they were conned to vote for a compulsive liar with only one care and that was caring for himself. Today they are cheering that everyone is better off. Have you seen the gas bill?
