Private plane used by Rishi Sunak to be replaced with new jet that boasts ... trends now
The private plane used by Rishi Sunak on prime ministerial business is set to be replaced with a new jet that boasts an upgraded 'XXL lavatory' and 'increased VIP wardrobe'.
The Prime Minister and members of the Royal family lease an RAF Voyager (Airbus A330) and an Airbus A321 from Titan Airways.
The smaller plane, featuring the red, white and blue of the Union flag, will be swapped with a like-for-like replacement, including the upgrades, by December.
At no extra cost, the supplier will provide a toilet that is '30in wider than [the] existing XL lavatory' in the VIP cabin, a full-length mirror and changing bench, The Times reported.

The plane contract has been extended until 2027 and the aircraft will also feature an 'increased VIP wardrobe', extra partitions and two conference tables.
The Airbus A321 is used when officials are making short- or medium-haul trips to destinations in Europe and the US East Coast.
The larger RAF Voyager - an Airbus A330 - is used when ministers are flying even further afield.
Britain does not have a prime ministerial plane used solely by Downing Street. Unlike the US President, who flies in Air Force One, the Prime Minister is not the Head of State.
A Cabinet Office spokesman told MailOnline: 'This is an update to a contract for the lease of a plane used [for] official visits.
'There will be no change in the annual cost to the taxpayer.'
The interior of the Voyager had a £10million makeover in 2016, when David Cameron was prime minister.
Following the makeover, RAF Voyager was first used to take David Cameron and other ministers to the Nato summit in Poland in July 2016.
It comes as Mr Sunak faced criticism this week for using air travel across the UK.
