BBC Radio 4 Host Nick Robinson Apologizes For Spreading Fake News About Boris Johnson’s Wallpaper

Nick Robinson, the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, has admitted that he made a mistake when he claimed that Boris Johnson had spent £840 a roll on gold wallpaper for his Downing Street flat. He said he had fallen for a spoof article by the satirical website The Daily Mash, and apologized on Twitter. However, some Tory MPs are not satisfied with his apology and want him to correct his mistake on air. Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission has launched a formal investigation into the funding of the refurbishment of the flat, which Johnson insists he paid for himself.
