Number 10 is beginning to panic now that independent interrogators are in pursuit of the truth
I will bet you the price of a roll of gold wallpaper that you will be able to say who paid when you last had the decorators in. If there was any reason you had to prove that it was you, you’d produce a bank or credit card statement. The home life of Boris Johnson is much more complicated. There are now no fewer than three inquiries into how the refurbishment of the Downing Street flat was funded. “Cash for cushions” and “wallpapergate” are amusing labels for this scandal, but I have an issue with them. They sort of serve Mr Johnson by putting a trivialising wrapper on the profoundly serious questions raised.
