Just staggered that their renovations cost more than a small house in some areas! Always thought he seemed fairly down to earth sort.Or is this normal ?! Seems astonishing to me!

Down to earth?!

Noses in the trough. Awful. Though lots of people will come on and defend.
It's taxpayers money I presume?

I think they’ve arranged private money to cover it. no corruption or brown envelopes to be seen here, thanks

Yes to this. But also the worrying news that about 2m had been spent on a media briefing room in Downing St because after Covid they are going to do daily televised Downing St briefings.

You thought Boris Johnson seemed fairly down to earth?!

It’s obscene.

Haven’t they set up,some sort of Downing Street charity to raise money for it? So they will have brown nosing donors giving them money who let’s face it will expect something in return down the line.

The charity idea did not get approved. I believe it was based on a similar set up for work on the White House.

Depends how much work needs doing I guess. I just spent about £350k on my house but that was pretty much top to bottom of a four bedroom house including a small extension.

Who is footing the bill is an entirely different matter though.

The daily mail did a good feature today with a mock up of the interior which has cost a fortune by this fancy interior designer and then a near identical set up from John Lewis at a fraction of the price.

DP has been in number 10, not the PM's apartment, and said it was not in great nick.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/03/2021 19:21

Does Boris live in No 10 or No 11? Because Samantha Cameron did the private apartment up and it looked really nice...but think they lived at No 11.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/03/2021 19:23

Oh I just googled, they live in No 11 ....so the Cameron’s old pad. So recent, modern, in good nick....but not to their taste. 🤷‍♀️
