Even before Boris Johnson formally succeeded Theresa May as Prime Minister in 2019 there were problems over his use, or what some regarded as his abuse, of Chequers.

It led to the resignation of the head housekeeper after claims of tensions with Carrie Johnson.

Charlotte Vine MBE, who first worked at the prime minister’s official country residence in 2004, left with a payoff in 2020 after signing a non-disclosure agreement.
