While stopping into the exclusive VIP suite before boarding flights, she had access to a butler, Michelin-star food, a personal shopper and a selection of curated art.

Each trip to the suite is valued at £4.2k, so the MP for Maidenhead has been gifted over £67k of services by Heathrow airport.

The suite is currently closed due to Covid restrictions, Ms May described the lack of progress for the aviation industry as “disappointing”.
