Boris' Flat In No. 10

[Khandro]

Isn't Boris right when he says the general public don't give a toss about how it's re-furbished?
Isn't this the MSM (& Starmer) trying to make something out of nothing?

He is right because he means that the country should pay for the flat inside 10, Downing Street, and i do not see anything wrong with it. Starmer is trying to make political points with the issue.

o god it is true
these Boris freds are multiplying like hangers in a cupboard

Did Boris the bonker get his name ( bonker ) by saying no or maybe
No he did not, I say !

[Peter Pedant]

// he means that the country should pay for the flat inside 10, Downing Street, //
yes - no

it is the Lord Chancellor hand printed paper issue - the then lord chancellor wanted ( and got ) wall paper that cost £65 000 to paper a room. Far too much - what is wrong with anaglypta?

and I think oops oi fink - £59 000 is far too much for a tart's boodwar
it looks like Marie Antoinette's 1788 boodwar in Versailz which you cd go and look at - they didnt have the moolah to redecorate for winter. - despite Necker being finance minister - too much detail

[Khandro]

What a pathetic opposition when all they can come up with is wallpaper & a few cushions.

[Peter Pedant]

I thought boris' defence was good in the commons today

my lords - as the Latins used to say - - slippy sloppy slarvy
anyone Mr Speaker with a hoosit of elenchi
will know this Latin verb - I have decorated
specifically in those times - - - I have got a slave to decorate !

hoojah! Mr Prime Minister - as they used to say at Eton - bottoms up!

[Peter Pedant]

// curry house flock wallpaper & a few cushions.// to khandro
is a tart's boodwar to others - - me

[Peter Pedant]

oh come on, usual suspects, someone must have no idea and will wish to quip the inevitable and crushing put down - "and what is a tart's boodwar when it is at home?"

Ken//Who pays for your interior decorations? I know i pay for mine,//
Why should the PM pay for decorating a government owned building?

[THECORBYLOON]

There's £30,000 allowed for decoration which does not appear unreasonable.

[anneasquith]

I rarely watch P/M question time. I did today. I’ve never seen Boris so rattled and angry as he was today when answering ( actually he didn’t answer) questions from the opposition leader . Just saying .

[Bobbisox1]

Mmm, must be elections coming up, the long knives are out but Boris will beat off the Labour Labour Losers :0)

[theshedman]

There is someone looking into who paid for the flat to be refurbished so why couldn't Labour and some of the others ask questions about things that are more important.

[Khandro]

CORBY //There's £30,000 allowed for decoration which does not appear unreasonable.//

For London ? that's peanuts!

[ladybirder]

Hmm, Carrie does seem to have expensive tastes.

[THECORBYLOON]

Are wallpaper and paint more expensive in London branches of B & Q?

[emmie]

it should be met by the taxpayer, after all it wouldn't work out that much per head in the grand scheme of things. We keep the RF so why not a refurb at No,10 flat.

[emmie]

didn't this also include furniture?

[ladybirder]

Do you think Carrie shops at B&Q TCL?

[THECORBYLOON]

How much do you think the taxpayer should fork out to do up the PM's flat?

[emmie]

depends on whether there is furniture to consider, if you are going to redecorate the walls, you may not want what the last occupant had installed. I don't have a clue as to the cost, but did someone high up in government have an office decorated that cost hundreds of thousands. someone enlighten me perhaps.
