Social media users have taken to Twitter to react to Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds’ ‘John Lewis nightmare’ after the news about the couple’s flat refurbishment.
Boris Johnson has continued to face questions over the funding of his flat refurbishment which he shares with his fiancée Carrie Symonds and their son, Wilfred.
The UK Prime Minister is facing several different allegations following an ongoing feud with his former chief adviser Dominic Cummings.
Meanwhile, some people have taken to social media to discuss the ‘John Lewis nightmare’ Johnson and Carrie Symonds had, as reported by Tatler.
Where do the PM and Carrie Symonds live?
The UK Prime Minister, his partner Carrie Symonds and their son Wilfred live at No 11, the flat next to No 10 Downing Street.
In a statement released to parliament, the Cabinet Office said that Johnson paid for the refurbishment out of his pocket following questions about the funding of the flat.
“If there’s anything to be said about that, any declaration to be made, that will of course be made in due course,” Johnson said.
No 11 is a four-bedroom large flat where Tony Blair, his wife Cherie and their children first lived.
Meanwhile, David and Samantha Cameron renovated the flat with £30,000 of taxpayers’ money in 2011.
The ‘John Lewis nightmare’ explained
The No 11 flat refurbishment was carried out by interior designer Lulu Lytle.
According to Tatler, the PM wanted to transform the flat from his predecessor Theresa May’s “John Lewis furniture nightmare” into a “high society haven”.
Labour’s shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth told Sky News this morning (April 27th): “We know he [Mr Johnson] wanted to upgrade his flat because he didn’t think John Lewis furniture was good enough.
“I think John Lewis furniture is pretty good actually, pretty posh stuff.”
