Boris Johnson hosts champagne party to celebrate sustainable UK fashion

PM pledges 80m of government funding to move industry to circular model

There has been little cause for celebration in Downing Street this week. But on Wednesday evening the prime minister, accompanied by his wife, Carrie Johnson, and their children, hosted a champagne reception in honour of sustainable fashion.

Boris Johnson pledged 80m in government funding for a programme of structural change which the British Fashion Council believes can move the UK industry toward a circular model.
