Boris Johnson is not a man currently without, as he might put it himself, a slew of significant botherations. But his biggest problem now, according to his biographer Tom Bower, is simply where he is going to live.
“I think it’s extraordinary that no one has cottoned on to this but his greatest problem is his own domestic arrangements,” said Bower. “He let out his homes in London and Oxfordshire because he thought he wouldn’t need them for many years to come.”
