'I have been in that flat and I can promise you it is not five star sumptuous!' Reports of Boris and Carrie Johnson's £200,000 refurbishment of the Downing Street flat are 'absolute BS', Rachel Johnson declares.
Rachel Johnson has dismissed "BS" claims that Boris and Carrie Johnson had refurbished Number 10 with "£800 pound rolls of wallpaper".Speaking on her LBC show, the Prime Minister's sister hit out at "bonkers" reports claiming there had been a "sumptuous re-decoration" in the Downing Street flat.
Her comments come after a leaked copy of the invoice suggested the controversial refurbishment of the official Downing Street flat cost more than £200,000.Picture: AlamyItems ordered by Boris and Carrie Johnson for their No 11 apartment from interior designer Lulu Lytle's upmarket Soane Britain firm included a £7,000 rug and 10 rolls of wallpaper costing £225 each, the document, obtained by The Independent, indicates.
In May 2021, Mr Johnson asked his then-adviser on ministerial interests, Lord Geidt, to investigate claims that he had secretly asked Tory donors to foot the bill for the redecoration, which far exceeded the £30,000 annual public grant afforded to the Prime Minister to spend on his living quarters.
