Rachel Johnson has been savaged over claims that her brother Boris and his wife Carrie have never splashed out on having their Downing Street flat refurbished.

An invoice leaked this weekend appears to show the couple spent more than £200,000 on getting their apartment decked out.

According to the Independent, items on the list include a £7,000 rug and 10 rolls of wallpaper costing £225 each.

The bill also listed a £3,675 drinks trolley, two sofas worth more than £15,000, and dining chairs costing £11,200, with the cheapest item – a kitchen table cloth – priced at £500.

Broaching the subject on her LBC show, Rachel Johnson described the claims as “absolute BS”.

“I have been in that flat and I can promise you it is not five star sumptuous”, she said.

“In fact Boris and Carrie don’t even have a salad bowl.

“The whole thing has been cooked up and I do not understand it.

“I can’t even begin to understand it and we don’t even talk about it, it’s all so bonkers.”

But her claims were ruthlessly savaged on social media.

Here’s what people had to say:

Neither would I if was eating the average salary’s worth of takeaway https://t.co/Tu5ha0l5NI

Bloody donors not including a complimentary salad bowl in the takeaways. If Gu puds can give free rammekins you'd think 27k worth of takeaway would include a salad bowl. I'd complain to the donors for inflicting such crap on the PM

The salad bowl line is delivered as though Rachel Johnson is breaking some heartbreaking news. The tone usually saved for a charity advert at Christmas. https://t.co/1JlKoVgLBG

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

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.
