Boris Johnson backed amid Downing Street refurb claims. (PA) Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has backed Boris Johnson following the Prime Minister asked Conservative donors to secretly pay for Downing Street refurbishments. Mr Wallace denied that Boris Johnson is “sleazy” with Labour expected to pile on the pressure amid claims from Mr Johnson’s former aide, Dominic Cummings.

However, Ben Wallace said Mr Johnson had paid “out of his own pocket” for the Downing Street upgrade.
