Boris in £52k error

BORIS JOHNSON has been forced to apologise to MPs for failing to declare more than £52,000 in income after the Commons standards watchdog suggested an “over-casual attitude” to the rules.

The former foreign secretary offered a “full and unreserved” apology in a 35-second statement in the House of Commons yesterday.

The Commons Committee on Standards said Mr Johnson broke House rules by failing to register payments within the required timetable nine times.
