Truss painted over Boris’s golden paper

- BY JOHN STEVENS Political Editor

LIZ Truss has painted over Boris Johnson’s £840-a-roll gold wallpaper and now it’s peeling off the walls of the Downing Street flat.

The revelation was made by Jeremy Hunt, who inspected the ex-PM’s pad before moving in.

He told the Spectator’s Parliament­arian of the Year awards: “The massive disappoint­ment was to find the paper had started to peel and had been painted over by Liz Truss.

“So I will be saying to my children ‘Scratch there, there’s gold in the walls’.”

Johnson came under fire for trying to get Tory donor Lord Brownlow to fund wife Carrie’s £112,000 revamp of the No11 flat which he was eventually forced to pay for himself.
