    Having spent (???) £thousands in tarting up the flat above 11 Downing Street, even the wallpaper is disenchanted with Boris because it is apparently peeling off the walls in an attempt to escape !!!


    No 10 not commenting on ‘speculation’ about PM’s luxury wallpaper falling down

    19 May 2021, 3:16 pmDowning Street has refused to comment on reports the wallpaper in the Prime Minister’s lavishly furnished flat is falling down.

    Work on the No 11 apartment Boris Johnson shares with fiancee Carrie Symonds is the subject of a series of investigations.

    Mr Johnson has insisted that he has paid for all the works himself but has refused to say whether he received an initial loan to cover them.

    The Daily Mail reported that the £840-a-roll luxury wallpaper used in the redecoration is now peeling off.
    The newspaper reported that the gold-coloured paper is a heavyweight design compared to mass-market wall coverings.

    Asked about the issues with the decor, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman: “I’m not going to get into that sort of speculation.”

    Further details about the refurbishment – which reportedly features products from interior designer Lulu Lytle’s Soane Britain firm – are expected later this month.

    Ministerial standards watchdog Lord Geidt said he is “determined” to publish the long-overdue list of ministers’ interests before the end of May.

    The crossbench peer told MPs that alongside the list he will publish his report into the declaration of any donations the Prime Minister received to help cover the costs of the No 11 revamp.

    Whitehall’s senior mandarin, Simon Case, is also reviewing the Downing Street refurbishment, while the Electoral Commission is investigating whether the Conservative Party broke any laws over the funding of the work.

    Mr Johnson has insisted the row over the flat is a “farrago of nonsense”.

    Ha !!! - The Daily Express ??? - another scumbag 'nasty party' propaganda rag - and yes Angela Rayner has a serious point about cronyism inside the scumbag 'nasty party'. The fact that Penny Mordaunt seems to think there is nothing wrong with it, says a lot about Penny Mordaunt's morals and ethics more than anything else !!!

    Never read the Sun in my life or the Morning Star and the crap Guardian or any propaganda from the crap union Unite whose obscene expenditure of public funding makes Boris's look like a saint. The woman with the brains was right, Labour is now so depleted of any form of self intelligence, it is now committing at a rapid rate its own demise.

    Boris Johnson ‘allergic to truth,’ says Labour – as Tory HQ finally reveals how donor paid toward flat refurb
    Conservative HQ sets out details of ‘bridging loan’

    Labour has accused Boris Johnson of being “allergic to the truth” after the Conservatives finally revealed the complex process used to pay for lavish renovations at his Downing Street flat.

    A Tory donor provided more than £52,000 to cover some of the costs in refurbishing the prime minister’s residence, according to party accounts published on Thursday.

    Tory HQ said it initially provided a “bridging loan” of £52,802 to cover the works after being invoiced by the Cabinet Office last June.

    The party was then “reimbursed in full” by Lord Brownlow last October, before Mr Johnson “settled the costs” incurred by the donor in March 2021 – but only after details had emerged in the press in February.

    No 10 repeatedly refused to reveal the original source of funds for the work, initially insisting that Mr Johnson alone had “covered the cost”.
    Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner responded: “These latest revelations prove that the prime minister appears to be allergic to telling the truth about the dodgy dealings and the web of conflicts of interests, secret loans and cover-ups that hang over him like a bad smell.”

    Revealing the details on page 25 of the 26-page accounts, the Conservatives pointed to a review by the prime minister’s own ministerial standards adviser, Lord Geidt.

    He found Mr Johnson acted “unwisely” in allowing the refurbishment to go ahead without “more rigorous regard for how this would be funded,” but did not breach the ministerial code.

    A Cabinet Office report in July said more than £28,000 was spent on painting and sanding floorboards – coming close to the £30,000 limit of public funding. But it also mentioned “additional invoices” for work carried out by Soane Britain, owned by interior designer Lulu Lytle.

    The bill for the extra work was paid by the Cabinet Office, before it was billed to the Conservative Party, before Lord Brownlow reimbursed the party, before Mr Johnson met “all final costs”, according to Tory HQ’s latest annual report.

    Dominic Cummings, former chief adviser at No 10, alleged that Mr Johnson had planned to have try to get donors to “secretly pay” for the refurbishments in an “unethical, foolish” and “possibly illegal” plan, which No 10 has denied.

    A Tory spokesman said: “As stated, the party provided a short-term bridging loan that was reimbursed to the party in full.”

    Meanwhile, Labour has written to the Electoral Commission to demand an investigation into the prime minister’s use of a taxpayer-funded jet to travel to the north-east for a campaign visit.

    Questions were raised over Mr Johnson’s April visit to Hartlepool to campaign for the Tory candidate, after it emerged that the Conservative Party recorded “nil” spending on the PM’s travel despite him having flown by jet from London to Teesside Airport.

    No 10 and the Conservatives insist no rules were broken, since the jet was used to fly Mr Johnson to the northeast for an official visit to Middlesbrough, while the PM travelled from Middlesbrough to Hartlepool in his official car.

    Ms Rayner said: “The questions hanging over ‘flatgate’ make it even more important that a full investigation into the prime minister’s SleazyJet flights is begun immediately so we get to the bottom of whether any rules and laws were broken, and if a Tory donor has secretly been picking up the tab for the prime minister’s private jet too.”
