Boris Johnson slammed by Labour shadow cabinet member for his behaviour during ‘Cash for Curtains’ scandal
Prime Minister Boris Johnson

BORIS JOHNSON has been slammed by Labour’s shadow chief secretary to the Treasury for his behaviour during the growing “cash for curtains” scandal.

Bridget Phillipson criticised the Prime Minister’s “angry rant” when refusing to answer questions over claims that the Conservative Party loaned Johnson money for the work to be carried out.

An Electoral Commission investigation into payments for the refurbishment of the PM’s Downing Street flat has been launched after Mr Johnson spent an estimated £200,000 renovating the property above No 11 Downing Street where he lives with his fiancee, Carrie Symonds.
