Minister is sacked but keeps limo

A TORY Minister sacked from the Cabinet by Theresa May has kept a taxpayer-funded chauffeur-driven limo after an outburst of ‘political road rage’, it was claimed last night.

Matthew Hancock was said to be furious when he found out his demotion from Cabinet Office Minister to Culture Minister meant he would lose his perk of an official car and driver.

After failing to persuade his new boss, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, to let him have the department’s sole official car, Hancock demanded – and got – another one, say sources.

Labour decried the ‘outrageous waste of taxpayers’ money’. It is not the first claim of Hancock’s extravagance. As Energy Minister, he once hired a private jet to fly him from Scotland to London – after signing a deal to combat global warming.
