Dominic Cummings told Boris Johnson he could be breaking the law if he went ahead with plans to get Tory donors to pay for new decor for his Downing Street flat.
The Prime Minister s former No 10 chief of staff said he warned the proposal was unethical, foolish and possibly illegal and he had refused to help arrange any such payments.
As a result of him expressing his opposition to the idea, Mr Cummings claimed, Mr Johnson stopped discussing moves with him to get donors to fund the flat refurbishment.

Cummings lashes out at Johnson over leak allegations
Prime Minister Boris Johnson giving media interviews during a visit to the Hartlepool United Football Club, in Hartlepool, ahead of the May 6 by-election. Dominic Cummings has lashed out at Boris Johnson and accused the Prime Minister of being responsible for a series of false allegations about him in the media. Mr Johnson’s former top adviser denied he was responsible for the leak of private texts in which he promised to “fix” a tax issue for the entrepreneur Sir James Dyson. In a lengthy blog posting he also claimed the Prime Minister had tried to stop an inquiry into the leak last year of plans for a second lockdown because it implicated a friend of his fiancee, Carrie Symonds.
