Boris Johnson will hold a farewell party for his supporters at Chequers this weekend, according to reports. The prime minister will welcome guests to the Buckinghamshire country residence on Sunday, a source told Sky News.
"The invitation comes from Mr and Mrs Johnson," the source told Sky. "It is their farewell bash at Chequers this weekend. Partners and children are all invited."
Downing Street did not deny the reports on Friday afternoon. Asked whether Mr Johnson is hosting a party for supporters at Chequers this weekend, a No 10 spokesman said: “As is usual practice, any political events would be for my political colleagues, it wouldn’t be a question for me, but I confirmed that the PM will be in Chequers over the weekend.”
