Rishi Sunak and his wife have ditched George Osborne's "very tired" furnishings in favour of opulent curtains and jewel coloured sofas for their Downing Street flat.
The couple have chosen to use the No10 flat where they lived when Mr Sunak was Chancellor, rather than moving to the larger flat above No11 which has been used by prime ministers since 1997.
But Mr Sunak, his heiress wife Akshata Murty and their daughters Krishna, 11, and Anoushka, 9, will be living in “far less glitz” than Boris Johnson 's family as they seek to move Downing Street on from the “court of Carrie” era, according to a profile in society bible Tatler.
