David Davis 'demanded private RAF plane for Brexit talks' | The Independent - Nov. 20, 2017 | The episode is said to have triggered his falling out with his most senior civil servant, Oliver Robbins, after he kept blocking Mr David Davis' flight requests. Mr Robbins, the government's chief Brexit negotiator, then raised eyebrows when he left the Brexit department to work for Theresa May in a new Cabinet Office unit. Since No 10 gave way, Mr Davis has repeatedly used RAF planes to fly to EU capitals, which are said to cost up to five times as much.
