@Litotes is correct. There are a series of articles in UK papers making the allegation. If it was untrue, they’d have vanished into the ether just like the Times article. 

No, by definition an allegation is a claim without proof, to be true it needs to be proven.

 

Just because there are a series of articles in UK newspapers making the same allegation that does not make it true either as again they are just allegations. Lots of people may suggest evidence exists but until that evidence comes to light there are still just allegations as they have not been proven.

 

It is really a very simple concept to understand.

So.

 

In your view, how does it become proven?

Evidence is normally standard position. As is a direct quote from a a source willing to go on record and who was actually there are as a direct witness to the event.

 

Anonymous heresay it's about as reliable as Mystic Meg making stuff up with a crystal ball.

There are a series of journalists who are happy to be on record stating that this is true and that they have been told by direct witnesses that this is true.   Simon Walters and Pippa Crerrar are amongst those journalists, both well respected writers. The  BBC are also happy to have the story  on their website. 

 

I’m sure that you are not naïve enough to expect these journalists to reveal their sources. I’m also sure that you understand the significance of the PM’s evasion on this subject.

 

It is certainly walking and quacking like a  duck.

It's worth noting that the claim first appeared in Tory peer Lord Ashcroft's book.

Boris Johnson wanted £150,000 treehouse at Chequers, say reports

Good to see our PM has empathy with the plight of millions of the "Briddish peepoo."

 

Wonder who he planned to tap up for that?

Aaah...I should have read the article first!!!

 

"It is understood there were discussions about the project being funded by David Brownlow, a Tory donor, and that designs had been prepared."

Some good news this morning  that Boris is thinking about staying as Prime Minister and Tory leader into a third term in office.  If he serves a full third term then he will have been Prime Minister longer than the late great Margaret Thatcher. 

He might be thinking about that. Don't think anyone else is 😂😂
