“If things hadn’t turned out as they did last July, I think over the summer we’d have had a reshuffle and Rishi would have been offered a different job,” says ex-No.10 media chief Guto Harri
is a ‘class act’ but there was a ‘fundamental disagreement in policy’ between the two men that went beyond Partygate.
“It wasn’t over a personality clash. There was a limited amount of money left because the government understandably blew a lot of money during covid. What do you do with the money that’s left?," Mr Harri said.“There was a lot of pressure in the party to cut taxes.
At the time, Mr Johnson described his discussion with Charles as a "good old chinwag" that "covered a lot of ground". "Prince Charles was busted. He had obviously expressed some criticism, and though he tried to play it down, Boris pointed out the obvious, : 'If you didn't say it we both know your people could ring the newspapers and kill the story. The fact they haven't done that says it all'."Mr Harri claimed Charles and Mr Johnson had struggled to get on for years after the politician was late for a meeting while London mayor, but that Rwanda was the final straw.
