MPs press for new investigation into Boris Johnson flat refurbishment

Watchdog urged to start inquiry after Electoral Commission report raises questions about whether PM misled his ethics adviser

Boris Johnson could face sanctions involving suspension from the House of Commons as MPs piled pressure on the standards commissioner to investigate spending on his flat in the wake of a serious censure by the Electoral Commission.

Questions have been raised over whether Johnson misled his ethics adviser after the Conservative party was fined 17,800 for serious donation reporting failures over the financing of the Downing Street flat redecoration.
