Mrs Muscat, the children and three other women join the Prime Minister in London

While we’re on the subject of the Prime Minister’s meeting with Theresa May, it’s time to ask whether the taxpayer is funding all these jaunts for his wife and children, when all they have to live on – ostensibly – is his salary.

A friend was on the flight out to Heathrow last Friday and there on the same plane were Mrs Muscat with her children, accompanied by three other women, one older and two her age (my friend wasn’t able to identify them).

They were met by Air Malta station manager Mario Ghio – totally out of order, given that the company is technically bankrupt and senior staff should have better things to do than act as flunkeys for Mrs Muscat and her mates – who loaded their trolleys for them and quickly whisked them off.

“Their luggage was on the carousel super-fast,” my friend said. “The rest of us – including passengers who had travelled club class – had to wait a further 20 minutes.”

What will they do when Air Malta crash-lands, I wonder. Unless it is they who crash-land to reality before that.

Ooops, wrong picture
