Boris Johnson’s unpaid debt of £ 535 has nothing to do with the Downing Street apartment.
Boris Johnson is the subject of a £ 535 unpaid debt judgment ruled Wednesday when Downing Street insisted the claim was “wholly unfounded”. Official documents show the verdict was dated October last year and is registered at 10 Downing Street. It refers to an unpaid debt of £ 535 but it was unclear who he owed the money to. On Wednesday, Downing Street said a motion would be “struck off” because it was “totally unfounded”. Sources claimed the verdict was the result of an “annoying” allegation. A well-placed source said it was a defamation lawsuit against the prime minister that should not have been heard by the district court. A spokesman # 10 said, “A motion is being made for the default judgment to be set aside, for the claim to be set aside and for a statement that the claim is wholly unfounded.” He added, “I can confirm that this has nothing to do with the renovation of the Downing Street property, where all such bills have been duly paid, either by the government or by the Prime Minister personally.”
