‘They know no shame’: Johnson paid for lavish New York banquet on Govt credit card
Labour suspects that it was Liz Truss’s official plastic he used to do it.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
Labour suspects that it was Liz Truss’s official plastic he used to do it.
Since leaving office last September, Johnson has declared a similar income from speaking fees.
Lord Lexden wrote to the Daily Telegraph pointing out that Mr Johnson had been driven out of office through scandal and misconduct.
"The issues in Uxbridge and South Ruislip are also the key issues nationally – on the doorstep people say they feel poorer", he said.
The claims come on the back of reports that Boris Johnson joked about attending “the most unsocially distanced party” in the UK.
Stephen Flynn describes it as "utterly perverse" that senior Tories are "feathering their nests" by charging money for outside engagements.
The portrait was unveiled in the Carlton Club's Churchill Room which, ironically, is where Chris Pincher got up to no good last year, ultimately bringing down Johnson's government.
The claim is part of a number of new allegations made in an ITV podcast, Partygate: The Inside Story.
The property in Knightsbridge is “around the corner from Harrods” and owned by Lady Carole Bamford, the wife of JCB tycoon Lord Bamford.
