Further, it was said that UK’s PM doesn’t have a housekeeper, and with his pay could only afford one home cleaner at his flat in Downing Street, which, they said, was “not a nice place to live.”
Comparing the Downing Street with Élysée or the White House, which were establishments much sophisticated, Boris’ colleagues said that the UK PM and his partner Carrie had to go through the office even if they wanted to visit the rose garden. According to a report published in Sunday Mirror, UK’s parliament and Tory MPs were in fact gearing up to look into some potential PM options over speculation about Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation in the spring post achieving a Brexit deal. Johnson has repeatedly sounded disappointed about his survival made challenging over the salary of £150,402, a meager pay compared to his expenses.
