Stop the repainting of Boris Johnson's plane (at a cost of £900,000)

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It has been reported by various mainstream media outlets that the plane use to transport the prime minister and royal family is set to be re painted, at a cost of circa £900,000. This is simply unacceptable, and a massive waste of public money. These plans must be scrapped.
In a time when many people are facing uncertainty over jobs, the highest levels of poverty ever seen, and chronic NHS underfunding is taking place - it is unfair to the tax paying public of this country for the government to spend close to £1million painting an aircraft.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
