A BBC chairman reportedly helped Boris Johnson arrange a guarantee on a loan – of up to £800,000 – just weeks before he was recommended for the job by the then-prime minister.
The newspaper reports that Tory donor Richard Sharp was involved in talks about financing Mr Johnson in late 2020.
According to the Sunday Times, the three men then had dinner at Chequers before the loan was finalised. A spokesperson for Mr Johnson dismissed the Sunday Times report as ‘rubbish’ and insisted his financial arrangements ‘have been properly declared’. Labour has now written to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg, demanding an investigation.
