Johnson "Richard Sharp is a good and wise man but he knows absolutely nothing about my personal finances"
Sharp "Sam Blythe, who I have known for more than 40 years, lives in London and having become aware of the financial pressures on the then prime minister, and being a successful entrepreneur, he told me he wanted to explore whether he could assist"
"I told him that this was a sensitive area in any event, particularly so as Sam is a Canadian, and that he should seek to have the Cabinet Office involved and have the cabinet secretary advise on appropriateness and indeed whether any financial support Sam might wish to provide was possible."
So Sharp was aware of the Prime Ministers financial pressures but knew nothing about his personal finances.
It would appear that one of them is lying but I'm struggling to work out who it could possibly be.
