British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced questions Saturday over the costly refurbishment of his apartment on London's Downing Street following a series of incendiary allegations made by his former top adviser. The charge is the latest in a string of allegations that Johnson and other Conservatives, including former British prime minister David Cameron, blurred or broke rules relating to contacts with donors and business. British Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer — shown in Bristol, England, earlier this month — is calling for an inquiry into allegations made against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his government in recent weeks. Asked Friday by Britain's LBC radio station if he had tried to block the leak inquiry, the prime minister replied, "No, of course not." The British government is facing growing allegations largely linked to Cameron, who was prime minister between 2010 and 2016.
