‘I resent being asked to pay to literally wipe the Prime Minister’s baby’s bottom,’ Tory donor allegedly moaned

There are also claims that Tory chiefs footed a bill for the PM's £165-an-hour personal trainer.

A Tory donor was asked to fund a nanny for Boris Johnson’s baby because the Prime Minister can’t survive on his £157,372-a-year salary, bombshell reports say today. However, Dominc Raab called the claims ‘tittle-tattle.’

The ‘cash for curtains’ saga has deepened after the claims in the Sunday Times – which reported the PM needs £300,000 a year to survive his high living costs.

The benefactor is said to have moaned “I resent being asked to pay to literally wipe the Prime Minister’s baby’s bottom.” 

A No 10 spokeswoman said: “The Prime Minister has covered the cost of all childcare.”

The Sunday Times also carries shock claims that Tory chiefs footed a bill for the PM’s £165-an-hour personal trainer, and a personal chef when he was hospitalised with Covid.

Raab

Dominic Raab said he has “no idea” if a Conservative donor was asked to pay for Boris Johnson’s childcare as the Foreign Secretary dismissed the allegation as “tittle-tattle”.

The Cabinet minister mounted a defence of Mr Johnson on Sunday amid signs a string of allegations may be damaging the Tories ahead of this week’s elections.

But he declined to deny a report in the Sunday Times that a second invoice for lavish renovations of the Prime Minister’s Downing Street flat may have been settled by a Tory donor.

Asked about the allegation in the Sunday Times, Mr Raab told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday: “I have no idea, you don’t have conversations like that with the PM. I can’t comment on every little bit of gossip that’s in the newspapers.

Polls

Although earlier polls suggested the “sleaze” allegations were not significantly denting public support for the Tories, fresh surveys gave evidence to the contrary.

The Conservatives fell to a five-point lead over Labour, with 42% compared to 37%, according to the Opinium poll of more than 2,000 adults between Wednesday and Friday.

That put the Tories down two points and Labour up four compared to a week earlier, halving the Conservatives’ lead ahead of the elections, in which some 48 million people are eligible to vote.

And in separate polling, Focaldata put Labour on 39%, one point behind the Tories, who previously had a healthy lead, according to The Sunday Times.

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.
