Prime Minister Boris Johnson being “painted into a corner” over the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat is among the stories making headlines on Thursday.

That headline features on the front of the Daily Mail, with the paper reporting that Mr Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds may have to hand over emails and phone messages to an inquiry over the “lavish refurbishment”.

It comes amid a flurry of brutal front pages with Number 10 set on from “every possible” angle, Ian Dunt noted.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
