Boris Johnson is living rent-free in a £20m property on one of the UK's most expensive streets. The former Prime Minister's London home is owned by the wife of a fellow Tory whose family and businesses have donated almost £10m to the Conservative party.

According to the Mirror, the townhouse is located in the Knightsbridge area on a street that is regularly described as one of Britain's most expensive - and is just a stone's throw away from Harrods.

A nearby property is available to rent for £30,000 a month - more than the annual starting wage of a NHS nurse. However, Mr Johnson told House of Commons officials that he estimates his current residence to be worth £10,000 a month.

He was invited to stay in the property by Lady Carole Bamford, the wife of JCB founder and billionaire Lord Bamford.According to the Mirror, Mr Johnson could face a complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards over whether he has fully declared the true value of the gift.
