British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has “made a mockery” of the standards expected of him, the Labour party has said, amid reports he is set to be cleared again of breaching the ministerial code over the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat.

The Financial Times reported that the PM’s behaviour will be “criticised”, with ministerial standards adviser Christopher Geidt describing the situation to colleagues as “deeply unsatisfactory”.
