IIRC that “fuss” wasn’t so much the cost, it was about how it was funded by fellow crony Brownlow, then how Boris hastily retreated and repaid it himself when it went public.
And let’s not forget how each time a Tory MP was asked if Brownlow paid anything towards the renovation, all the response we would get was (and Hancock was a favourite for saying this) “the Prime Minister has met the cost of renovating Downing Street”.
“Did Boris repay Lord Brownlow the money he gave for doing up Downing Street?”
“The Prime Minister has met the cost of renovating Downing Street”.
If Starmer reaches and maintains Bullshitting Boris’ level of corruption and cronyism then I’ll see them as equals in terms of politically lining their own pockets and **** the common man.
