BORIS JOHNSON was ridiculed today following reports that he told friends he needed a £300,000 salary “just to get by.”
The Prime Minister is under continued scrutiny amid allegations that he was given money directly by donors for renovations to his Downing Street flat.
The Sunday Times reported today that the Tory leader one of Britain’s highest earners told friends he needs to earn about £300,000 a year twice his ministerial salary simply to keep his head above water.
A source told the paper it was received wisdom that Mr Johnson was permanently broke.
Downing Street said the PM has now covered the costs of the redecoration but it still failed to say that these costs were initially covered by Mr Johnson.

ALEX Salmond has said Scotland should borrow “as much as we possibly can” while dismissing the SNP’s economic plans as mere “motherhood and apple pie”. The head of the pro-independence Alba Party said the country could take on debt “at no cost” because of record low-interest rates then “roll over that debt” when required. He said “the old tax and spend economics are part of the past”, and Scotland could instead “embrace a different sort of economics” to finance public spending. He said: “Raising cash is not going to be the problem. Spending it is going to be the key priority.”
