Curtains come down on U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson over Downing Street redecoration.

Presidents through the years have put their own extravagant twists on the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which is estimated to be worth $424 million by real estate company. But in the U.K., recent refurbishments at the more modest residence for prime ministers at 10 Downing Street have provoked a political firestorm and it is just the latest in a recent spate of controversies that have piled pressure onto Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The refurbishment controversy has been dominating the headlines in the U.K. and, on Thursday, The Daily Mail -- dubbing the scandal “Wallpapergate” -- carried theof up to £30,000 a year to renovate the Downing Street residence. But Johnson has been accused of potentially using Conservative Party funds to top that up and fund a more lavish redecoration in the apartment at 11 Downing Street, where he lives with his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, and their son.

What curtain, we have none. The British people love their prime minister and would pay £2.000 for a roll of wallpaper if it kept him and his girlfriend happy. They would also pay for Jennifer’s too.

Very expensive curtains but if they are a 'gift' who cares
