Tories face multiple sleaze probes after Boris Johnson hit by fresh claims over personal finances

The Sun says THE Tories face multiple sleaze probes after Boris Johnson was hit by fresh claims over his personal finances.

Labour reported him to Commons watchdogs over an £800,000 loan allegedly secured with the BBC chairman’s help. 

The former Prime Minister recommended Richard Sharp for the top Beeb job just weeks after Mr Sharp allegedly advised him on securing a loan from a billionaire relative.

The bill was met by Mr Johnson’s distant cousin Sam Blyth — with minsters insisting Mr Sharp had been handed the BBC job only on merit.

The Cabinet Office admits Mr Sharp had been told not to discuss Mr Johnson’s finances again by Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.

But the Sunday Times reported the trio dined at Chequers ahead of Mr Sharp’s appointment to the BBC job in 2021. Mr Sharp claimed he had “simply connected” people.
