Boris Johnson runs up £465,000 bill to help settle in to new job

As more details emerge, the costs of Conservative Mayor of London Boris Johnson’s transition team are going up and up.

Tory Troll reports that the latest figures are £465,000, which is equal to 70% of the total annual cost of all the Mayor’s permanent staff and deputies.

This is an awful lot of money to be spending on what is just a temporary transition team.
