Johnson as mayor 'awarded public funds to close friend'
 

Boris Johnson is under growing pressure to explain why he allegedly failed to declare an interest in the allocation of public money to a close friend while he was mayor of London.

The Sunday Times reported that a company run by Jennifer Arcuri, an American technology entrepreneur and friend of Johnson, was given tens of thousands of pounds in public funds and access to overseas trade missions led by Johnson during the prime minister’s time as mayor.

Downing Street has refused to comment on the reports. But Sir Alistair Graham, the former chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, said Johnson had a case to answer. “Whether we can trust the prime minister is a critical issue for everybody in the country at the moment,” he told the Guardian

Yes Typical of him

Why is anyone surprised?... the guy is a joke, how he's got where he is is an elitist miracle.
I'd say this is the tip of the iceberg, there must be many stories like this.

Says the person who'll be voting to put an anti semitic, Marxist into power, and voting to make "Dopey Diane" Home Secretary.

Bojo wasted funds on vanity projects as well.
And now he's raving about a bridge between Scotland and NI. Technologically unfeasible.

That shouldn’t be the reaction to a Prime Minister shafting government and handing out money to their friends.

Jesus.

Put your copy of the sun at your feet and slowly back away.....

Media outlets in 'bidding war' for Jennifer Arcuri scoop

Lawyer claiming to represent Boris Johnson’s friend says she will do interview ‘for right price’

For now, by way of a taster, we have Jennifer’s car park chat with the Daily Mirror. I can’t play favourites with the sheer volume of brilliant quotes. But how about: “Men just trip over themselves in front of me. They fall in love with me in about 10 minutes … because I know what to say. I make men trip over their dicks. That’s what happens. They go insane around me. They’ve been doing it for years. It’s just what happens.”

She promises to be a hoot

Got to grease the cogs to keep the wheels turning...stuff like this has gone on for centuries.
