   Private jets are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes per passenger, and 50 times more polluting than trains.

   Yet every year 90,000 private jets take off in the UK.

   We're in the middle of a climate emergency. The next UK Government needs to start acting like it.

   That's why we're proposing a £1000 per head tax on private jet users to deter these climate wrecking flights and tackle their huge environmental impact.
