The BBC chairman is due to be grilled by MPs next month over allegations he helped secure a loan of £800,000 for the former PM

after it emerged that in late 2020 he had introduced Sam Blyth to Cabinet Secretary Simon Case to discuss whether Mr Blyth, a distant cousin of Mr Johnson whom Mr Sharp has known for more than 40 years, could act as a guarantor for a loan facility for the prime minister.

A spokesperson for the former prime minister said that Mr Sharp has “never given any financial advice to Boris Johnson, nor has Mr Johnson sought any financial advice from him”. “Neither Mr Johnson nor anyone acting on his behalf spoke to anyone in the FCDO regarding Mr Blyth for any public appointment.”

Boris Johnson told to stop asking Richard Sharp for financial advice days before he was made BBC chair - reportsMr Sharp has been facing calls to stand down after it emerged he helped Mr Johnson, who was prime minister at the time, to secure a loan. He’s off to Ukraine as a self-styled “British hero” to skim off his share new VIP lane for contracts. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who pays his rent and how they will benefit from his latest scam. I want him nowhere near our friends in need out there. Why would he step down from a job he paid damn good money to receive ? Sleaze from top to bottom with this ghastly govt.
