Boris Johnson has been 'crystal clear' about flat costs, says Foreign Secretary

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab again defends Boris Johnson over the Downing Street flat refurbishment row, saying he has been "crystal clear" on the matter.

Asked about a newspaper report that a Tory donor was asked to cover the costs of childcare for the Prime Minister's son Wilfred, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab tells Sophy Ridge: "I've got no idea." Number 10 has denied the allegations.

They must be laughing their heads off at the public swallowing all this BS

[melanievizard]

Nobody would ever stop me hugging my Mum!
Bloody ridiculous what people have gone along with!

[steadyeddy]

Refusing to answer a simple question is the polar opposite of being "crystal clear".

[mrDJKdnb]

Don't think the problem is the cost of the flat refurb, its where the money actually came from.

[colinmccarthy]

If his flat costs are ‘Crystal Clear’, they must be VeryTransparent in every way to see.

[johnnoh]

Could he also be Crystal clear about the PPE and NHS contracts going to the Tory friends, to keep money in safe keeping for him

[thaicycle]

This is the man who didn't know Dover was important for imports and exports 🤪🤪

[TheBigears]

Can anyone tell me when Raab had his operation please? I mean the charisma bypass.

[applepie]

Hasn’t knocked my door - I would ask him who paid.

[befree]

He must be telling the truth hes an MP!

[michaelstapelberg]

i love how they tell us what we think!!

[timpass]

The crystal appears to be on the frosted side.

Not even going to vote this time, fed up of all this crap that's going on with politics in this Country. Postal voting should be scrapped unless there is some good reason for not using a poling station.

157000. If anyone was on that kind of money and making a mess of the job they would get fired

[geoffreyhirst]

The question we should be asking is when did he pay, was it after questions were being asked.

[yenciehossain]

So the dude can't even refurbish his flat/apartment. This is the biggest scandal in UK politics?

[LifeInStone]

Politicians and government are literally out of control.

[NickRowsell]

I bet David Cameron is pissing his frillies at the current ‘smokescreen’. Buying time to shore up his interests before the media crack on

Why does boris get away with everything just because it's boris

[samchenp]

It is widely recognized that UK should give more attention domestic issues, not foreign affairs. It is the top priority for UK to improve the UK people's life, not other country citizens. Obviously UK has limited resources.
