Flying Hi: Why do you suspect it is Photoshop?
I agree that it is ridiculous that the UK PM - with all the other major issues facing the country - is prepared to waste time meeting a non-existent / soon-to-fail airline. But actually it is consistent with the Tory government's past performance... for example the so-called VIP Lane for PPE contracts during COVID etc.
Global's 'advisory board' has got various OBE's (bestowed by the same government handing out honours to mates and donors) so swinging an invite to No 10 is not too surprising.
And given that Global has managed to locate donors willing to give it money to burn (including the extremely wealthy Stokely OnlyFans porn site family) perhaps Rishi is looking to get some more donations to party coffers before the next election?
It's a fairly standard tactic from Global too - to increase their credibility and perhaps puts some subtle pressure on UK CAA with regards their AOC application.
