Boris under the microscope
The Electoral Commission is launching a formal investigation into how Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid for renovations made on his private quarters in Downing Street. A leaked email from top Tory donor, Lord Brownlow details a donation of £58,000 ($80.5k) that was used “to cover the payments the Party has already made on behalf of the yet to be formed ‘Downing Street Trust’” in June 2020. While the Conservative party continue to insist Johnson paid for the work, they are refusing to publicly deny that the work was originally paid for by a donor.
