Boris Johnson claimed the inside of his Downing Street apartment resembled a "crack den" before its refurbishment.

The former prime minister defended his reported £200,000 refurb during an interview with LBC on Tuesday (8 October), insisting it “wasn’t as much as that”.

Mr Johnson said: “Frankly, once I pulled the carpets out of the flat in number 11, which is where we lived, because Dylan was then in the stages of being — the whole thing was looking a bit like a crack den to be totally honest, and it needed to be refurbished.”
