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 No 10 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.
