Ms Rayner said: "People may ask why this is important. Mr Johnson insists that he paid the decorating bill himself but he has refused to answer questions on allegations he took an initial loan to meet the costs. When ministers and advisers use the public purse as a personal cashpoint, the public has a right to know." "What they see through though is the performance [Ms Rayner] has given today, which is designed to smear decent colleagues and denigrate British business."
