Read our privacy policy Parliament and the prime minister’s official residence are full of “nooks and crannies” providing politicians and staff with “ample opportunity” to have sex in, a former senior aide to Boris Johnson has said. In one scene of the book, entitled Whips, Ms Watson writes about a “beleaguered prime minister” inviting her MPs to Chequers for a BBQ to get them away from the manic Westminster bubble. Ms May’s Brexit plans were vehemently opposed by Mr Johnson, who resigned as foreign secretary the previous year, urging his colleagues to “chuck Chequers” in favour of a “Super Canada”-style proposal. “There is essentially ample opportunity for this kind of stuff to happen.” Former senior Downing Street aides Cleo Watson and Dominic Cummings in October 2020 Ms Watson, 34, was deputy chief of staff to Mr Johnson when he was prime minister.
