Perhaps the Sunday Times proprietor wants to get a more amenable puppet.
Is there anybody who doesn't, honestly, believe that no-deal would be a disaster, and that Buffoon is dragging the country towards it?
"The newspaper claimed that a) Arcuri was given a total of £126,000 in public money and access to three overseas trade missions led by Johnson and b) Johnson was a regular visitor to Arcuri’s top-floor flat in Shoreditch, east London.
According to the paper, Arcuri was given preferential treatment when it came to joining overseas trade missions led by Johnson, with initial decisions to turn her down for two trips overturned after he and his team intervened. On top of that, £10,000 in sponsorship cash for a series of networking summits put together by Arcuri reportedly came from an organisation that Johnson was responsible for as London mayor in 2013.
Johnson would later say: "Everything was done in accordance with the code... and everything was done with full propriety... There was no interest to declare," while Arcuri would say that Johnson never showed "favouritism" and "didn’t know about my asking to go to trips," adding, "He only knew me as an extremely passionate entrepreneur of the London tech scene.”
However, reaction from the relevant watchdog — the Greater London Authority oversight committee, which appears to have rather more bite than you might expect — was swift. The chair wrote to Johnson on Sept. 24 giving him two weeks to provide information about the relationship. Failure to do so would mean he had to appear before it and hand over any relevant correspondence."
