Carrie on plotting: Boris Johnson's fiancée Carrie Symonds tried to damage career of top woman civil servant who refused to sign off No 10 flat refurb and made crude sexual insult about another woman tipped to become his Cabinet SecretaryBoris Johnson's fiancee Carrie Symonds tried to damage the careers of Britain's top two female civil servants by manoeuvring against them and making offensive remarks.
Miss Symonds urged the Prime Minister to sack a female Whitehall official who refused to sign off a large taxpayers' bill for her refurbishment of the
flat, including expensive wallpaper.
And she made a crude remark about another mandarin tipped to be the first female head of the Civil Service - but who lost out when Mr Johnson picked a less experienced male rival.
