More sleaze:

Boris Johnson is facing yet more political pressure, this time over whether he misled an investigation into a donation for Downing Street flat refurbishments, after contacted a Tory donor to 'ask for more money'.
The Electoral Commission fined the Conservative Party £17,800 over the donation by Tory peer Lord Brownlow to help cover the costly renovations to No 11 Downing Street.
Johnson's wife, Carrie Johnson, is believed to have chosen £850-a-roll gold wallpaper by top designer Lulu Lytle, who co-founded exclusive decorating company Soane Britain, for the refurb.
Brownlow, who has an estimated £271m fortune, has donated nearly £3m to the Conservatives and served as vice-chairman of the party between July 2017 and July 2020.
