  1. >In its report, concluding an investigation into the payments, the commission revealed Mr Johnson sent Lord Brownlow, the multimillionaire director of Huntswood, a WhatsApp message requesting funding for the refurb in November 2020.

    >But in May this year, Lord Geidt, the independent adviser on ministers’ interests, was told by the PM he did not know who was behind the nearly £53,000 flat refurb donation until February 2021, just before reports emerged in the media.

    it never rains but it pours

  2. Can we move onto direct democracy yet? All this representative democracy is dated & the public are bored of it.

  3. It would save us some time and expense with these constant investigations if he was just live streaming his life on twitch so we could transcribe it all.

  4. We love Boris, he’s a normal guy who makes mistakes like the rest us. Man of the people.
    We all make errors. I had a new kitchen fitted last year and I’m not sure who or how it was paid for. Totally normal way to live your life.

  5. So Johnson has given two different and contradictory explanations for the funding of the Downing St flat refurbishment to two different inquiries.

    Can’t wait to see what they come up with to explain how this isn’t lying.

  6. This isn’t “his” flat, it is 11 Downing Street. An upmarket council house, in effect. How was he personally involved in funding the refurb at all?

  7. When Johnson opens his mouth now even my Tory friends (I use that term loosely) shut down. All respect gone, and once gone it never returns.

  8. Like how he won’t talk about who funds his holidays? Johnson would sell his soul to the devil for the right price, only an idiot would think he has some sort of moral fibre that stops him accepting donations and gifts from shady people.

  9. He is either a big fat liar, or suffers from such serious amnesia that he should be automatically disqualified from ever having any responsibility.

    Remember when he was asked under oath in the House of Commons what he discussed in his secret, personal 2016 meeting with the CEO of Cambridge Analytica when he was Foreign Secretary, and he replied “I have no idea”?
