Hope BoJo got mates' rates, even if his mates initially paid for it.

Director of firm behind Boris Johnson's flat refurb a Brexit-backing Tory donor
EXCLUSIVE: William Hobhouse and his wife Kate were major shareholders in Lulu Lytle's firm Soane Britain Ltd - who supplied the £800-a-roll gold wallpaper for Boris Johnson's No10 flat upgrade
A director of the design firm behind Boris Johnson’s controversial flat makeover is a Brexit-backing tycoon who gave tens of thousands of pounds to the Tories.
William Hobhouse, 64, and his heiress wife Kate, 58, were major shareholders in interior design guru Lulu Lytle’s firm Soane Britain Ltd.
Soane supplied the £800-a-roll gold wallpaper chosen by Mr Johnson’s fiancée Carrie Symonds for their £200,000 Downing Street revamp.
But in February, as “Wallpapergate” questions were surfacing about who paid for the refurb, entrepreneur Mr Hobhouse quit his role with Soane Ltd after six years.
And no trace of his links to Soane – which were previously unknown – now appear on his online CV. A former church volunteer, he has a range of business interests – including a raunchy online underwear firm.
Between them, the Hobhouses had donated over £200,000 to the Tory Party and Vote Leave campaigns.
