this is a sideshow to the fact that Arcuri benefited from thousands of pounds in public money and was given coveted places on trade missions to New York and Tel Aviv alongside Johnson despite failing to meet the criteria for those trips….

Arcuri received £100,000 of public money. It seems likely that the reason she got the money was that she was sleeping with Johnson

Another day, yet another case of looks-like ELITE CORRUPTION
In the UK, ELITE CORRUPTION is widespread and the elite has impunity from any sanction
Tragic, history will show the damage that @MattHancock and @BorisJohnson caused will take a generation to recover.
