Boris Johnson's wife Carrie believes the Prime Minister's enemies are targeting her in a "brutal briefing campaign".
The 33-year-old has insisted she does not have any involvement in Government affairs amid changes among the No10 staff including a new director of communications.
On the evening of February 6, the Prime Minister's partner issued a statement through her spokesperson in response to a Cabinet minister suggesting she was coming “under scrutiny in a way that perhaps other prime ministers’ spouses weren’t” previously.
Mrs Johnson's role in her husband Boris' time as Prime Minister has been under the spotlight, and over the weekend a biography of the mum-of-two, by Tory peer Lord Ashcroft, was published in The Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday, which sought to look at her alleged influence over the PM’s decision-making, Hull Live reports.
Lord Ashcroft, writing in the Mail, said that his research into Mrs Johnson had suggested her “behaviour is preventing him (Boris Johnson) from leading Britain as effectively as the voters deserve”.
However, allies have dismissed the criticism as sexist, and a spokesperson for Mrs Johnson said on February 6: “Yet again Mrs Johnson has been targeted by a brutal briefing campaign against her by enemies of her husband.
“This is just the latest attempt by bitter ex-officials to discredit her. She is a private individual who plays no role in Government.”
It has been alleged that Mrs Johnson has been caught up in a number of scandals involving the Prime Minister, including suggestions she pushed for the luxury redecoration of the flat the couple share in No 11 Downing Street and was key in the evacuation of animals from the Nowzad charity from Kabul.
