Of course. You can do whatever you like if you have the money. You'll be looking at around £300/hr for a twin with an instructor qualified to teach in it. So, more than double the price. But, if you can afford it you'll be better placed for going commercial.

Why not just do it in a king air, or better still an airbus?

It is. But you would need to complete a minimum of 70 hours of solo time in the twin before Licence and rating issue.

Nice idea...but...

...what if you want to buy/fly/rent a sigle afterwards? Some parts of the PPL SEP rating are priceless.. particularly EFATO and general forced landings. Good luck anyway bm

Yes, but it's really not necessary to learn the basics of flying in a twin.
If this is the route you are contemplating I would suggest you fly Single engine for the first 25-30hrs or however much time it takes to meet all your solo requirements and then switch to a twin for the rest of your training.
At least that's how it could work in the US.
