Very true. I blame Labour as much a Conservatives. Without the "anybody but Corbyn" vote I suspect we'd have got either a hung Parliament or at least not an incompetent compulsive liar.

Boris Johnson is believed to be trying to set up a charity to help pay for a costly makeover of his Downing Street flat, after protesting at the huge bill.

The prime minister complained the cost of the refurbishment – carried out by his fiancée Carrie Symonds – was “totally out of control” and running to “tens and tens of thousands”, it was reported.

The charity scheme would be based on one used by the White House to raise millions of dollars for interior design, antiques and art, the Daily Mail said.

A multi-millionaire financier and Tory peer Lord Brownlow has been approached to run the charity, it said, with an application to register it with the Charity Commission underway.

The idea could provoke claims of a conflict of interest if it is seen as a backdoor way of providing a financial benefit to Mr Johnson.

World famous interior designer Carrie Symonds has wowed fashion experts by using unpublished NHS contracts to wallpaper a toilet at Number 10, Downing Street. Symonds, who is an expert in anything that takes her fancy, surprised interior decorators with her choice of material as Boris Johnson spaffs up the walls on a regular basis. However, Miss Symonds is confident any mess can be quickly wiped away or hidden by Matt Hancock.
