The Daily Telegraph’s main story reports that Lord Geidt is on the brink of quitting as the PM’s independent adviser on standards after claims Mr Johnson misled him over the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat. Lord Geidt carried out an investigation into the funding of the refurbishment earlier this year and cleared Mr Johnson of a conflict of interest over a donation from Lord Brownlow to pay for the work, saying the PM appeared not to be aware of the arrangement with the peer. But documents released by the Electoral Commission show that Mr Johnson sent a WhatsApp message to Lord Brownlow in November last year to ask for extra money to go towards the works.
