A party-loving Tory aide was last night at the centre of Westminster speculation about Boris Johnson’s marriage split. Neither Mr Johnson nor Ms Symonds have commented on their friendship. Ms Symonds, who attended leading private girls’ school Godolphin and Latymer in West London, became a Tory press officer in 2009. Friends of Ms Symonds say she felt she had been penalised for her links to ‘Team Boris’. Just one week before the dinner, Ms Symonds and Mr Johnson were photographed together at the Conservatives’ fundraising Black and White Ball in London.
