Keir Starmer cancels £40m helicopter contract used by Rishi Sunak, seen as wasteful spending.

Labour leader Keir Starmer cancels £40m helicopter contract used by former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, seen as a symbol of wasteful spending by the previous government. The contract for private helicopter services is not renewed, with senior ministers instead using government-owned vehicles such as RAF helicopters for operational purposes. This decision comes as Starmer prepares to address the problems facing Britain and "root out 14 years of rot" under the Conservatives.
