Mr Johnson s spending on the ship has come under fire in recent weeks, most recently by former Tory chancellor Ken Clarke who branded it silly populist nonsense .
Lord Clarke s criticism came as official figures showed that government borrowing stood at £24.3 billion in May - down from £43.8 billion a year earlier at the height of the pandemic, but still the second highest figure for the month on record and £18.9 billion more than in 2019.
