Boris Johnson took a private jet from the COP26 summit in Glasgow to London to attend a reunion dinner with Telegraph journalists at a private members club, it has been reported.
The Prime Minister attended the evening gathering with his former colleagues at The Garrick, in London's West End, after flying 400 miles from the climate change conference in Glasgow on Tuesday night.
Mr Johnson, who appeared to be wearing his rented £495 Oliver Brown suit from earlier that day, was seen leaving the exclusive club at 10pm last night alongside the former editor of the Telegraph Charles Moore, pictures obtained by The Mirror show.
A Downing street spokesperson said the PM, who previously worked as a columnist for The Daily Telegraph, travelled on 'one of the most carbon-effective planes its size in the world' which used 'the most sustainable aviation fuel available'.

A Downing Street spokesperson told The Mirror: 'All travel decisions are made with consideration for security and time restraints.
