Refusing to comment on something equates to it being true, clearly.

I have quite a few as they're rather robust and are useful for making people think I'm giving them a nice gift.

Why anyone considered that millions in cash, stuffed in holdalls, was legit, I don't know.

Up in the trees....

WTF?

Oh and he isn't paying for it himself.

Boris Johnson has refused to deny he plotted a £150,000 treehouse for his son Wilf at Chequers.

Bombshell reports said the PM and wife Carrie wanted to construct the hideaway at his grace-and-favour retreat in summer 2020.

Two sources told The Times there were talks about Tory donor Lord Brownlow funding the project and plans were drawn up.

But they pulled the plug on security advice, despite the design including bulletproof glass, as it could be seen from the road.

No10 aides also warned it would "look terrible" to build a treehouse that cost more than an entire home in some parts of Britain.
Questioned by journalists in Rwanda today the Prime Minister refused to deny spending money on the lavish plans

Asked if a penny of taxpayers' or donors' money was spent planning a treehouse at Chequers, Boris Johnson replied: "I’m not going to comment on non-existent objects or non existent jobs to do with my family."
