Labour’s deputy leader says it is ‘scarcely believable’ PM did not know who funded work on flat
Labour has demanded that the full details of how Boris Johnson’s Downing Street flat renovation was funded are released after he was cleared of breaching the ministerial code.
Deputy leader Angela Rayner has written to Christopher Geidt, the independent adviser on ministers’ interests, after he ruled on Friday that the prime minister had not broken the rules. Lord Geidt found only that Johnson acted “unwisely” in allowing the refurbishment to go ahead without “more rigorous regard for how this would be funded”.
