Dolly Dewdrop nicking bathrobes. Sigh.
Liz Truss is contesting a £12,000 government bill relating to her use of the grace-and-favour country house she had access to as foreign secretary.
The invoice covers the period in summer 2022 when she was preparing for her 49-day premiership and is understood to have been received by Ms Truss several weeks ago.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Liz used Chevening as a mini Number 10, holding meetings with her inner circle which often turned into parties in the evening.
“The Cabinet Office was told by staff at the house that items such as towelling robes and even slippers vanished during that period, and have asked her to cover the cost.
“They have also objected to the idea that the taxpayer should foot the bill for what were basically a series of summer parties, and say she owes more than £12,000 for it.”
The ministerial rule book states that “where ministers host party or personal events in [official] residences it should be at their own or party expense with no cost falling to the public purse”.
