Lord Geidt demands explanation after PM is accused of misleading him during investigation into refurb
Boris Johnson’s ethics adviser, Lord Geidt, has demanded an explanation after the prime minister was accused of misleading him over the Downing Street flat scandal, with sources suggesting Geidt could resign if the answer does not satisfy him.
Pressure is mounting on Geidt, the adviser on ministerial interests, over the investigation he completed in May. It exonerated Johnson of wrongdoing over an undeclared £52,000 donation to the Conservatives to cover the cost of a makeover to the prime minister’s No 11 residence.
