In case you missed this

You’re right Beautiful - a time of crisis in the cost of living for the general public is not the time to flaunt such extravagance. It really shows his lack of awareness and contempt for the rest of us.

What a complete waste of money ... when some people are struggling so much !!! Too many freebies for those that have ... more they have the more the get & the more they want !!!

I wish he'd just go and live in a tree house, somewhere remote and off grid, like Alaska?

More details out today - the windows were to be of bulletproof glass!

Not really your average child's tree house...?

"Some luxury treehouses can include things like rope bridges and zip wires, while others have hot tubs and are let out on Airbnb.

Caryn Mitten, Blue Forest's marketing director, reportedly said play houses start at about £90,000 and go up to “whatever you want to pay”.

Mr Johnson and wife Carrie did up the four-bed abode above No11, the residence of the Prime Minister, at a cost of more than £100,000.

The plush interiors were said to include gold wall coverings as the SNP accused him of “living it up like a modern day Louis the Sixteenth”.

This was ours. DH could replicate it for a fraction of Boris' quote. The dog in the picture isn't Dilyn by the way, that my golden Lillie!

Yes, just like the one your grandchildren had. Both my son and my daughter had similar ones for their children.

Actually, much of the cost could be the expensive wallpaper, furniture etc

Or was Boris thinking of revamping to it himself, away from the world?

My fantasy one will have only one key, and it will be on my keyring .

Not revamping - decamping!
Autocorrect again ?

My two just used a cleaned-out garden shed with grans old carpet and a few pieces of furniture. All the neighbour's children played in it and they used their imagination with old boxes etc. to make a cooker and the like.
The pirate house in a tree down the street was abandoned after a play there as they could not push their doll's prams around.

Oh yes, my DGD had one - someone gave it to them, secondhand!
They had hours of fun with it!

Wilfred's only 2, the other one is a baby, isn't that a bit young for a house up a tree? Or was Boris thinking of revamping to it himself, away from the world?

What’s wrong with a little playhouse in the garden?

My two had years of fun in this one. It didn't cost £150k.

What’s wrong with a little playhouse in the garden?

Apart from anything else why on earth would a treehouse cost £150,000?

The man has really lost it! In a country where parents are deciding whether to eat or hear, he has these delusional ideas. When oh when will the Tory/Boris loving public recognise how they are being conned by this buffoon. He intends to keep putting out stupid ideas to cover up his idiotic non performance ( and please don’t mention vaccines - he did nothing!) What with Partygate, Carriegate and now Treehousegate - the man loves winding us all up.

Johnson is showing all the signs of a "bunker" mentality, we as a country are in a dark and dangerous place and being led there by a deeply flawed individual with no moral compass. He is propped up by a spineless front bench composed of talentless mediocraties clinging on to their ministerial cars and other taxpayer subsidies. He must go and the sooner the better. It just depends whether the self interest of his backbenchers trumps the courage needed to oust this dangerous man.

James O’Brian also reminded us that at the time Johnson was was trying to get someone to pay for a tree house, he insisted on 4 extra servants in Chequers.

Curtesy of the tax payer.

It occurred to me when reading about this. How long does Johnson think he will be living in Chequers?

I see more Tory MPs have put letters in demanding another vote.

We built a summerhouse and decking next to our steam. Cost less than £1000.
Will sell, if forced, to the right buyer, for only £150000.
Very private, excellent solar panel, Comms, south facing.
Unfortunately, no fridge.
PS could he climb into a tree house?

Hehehe. That's funny. ??

£150,000 TREE house? WTAF?
Would it be made of gold?
That makes me think of donald trumps places - EURGH!!
Surely he has his own property somewhere where he could erect a tree house, or Wendy house if no trees, but I'm damned sure he wouldn't pay £150,000 out of his own pocket to do so!!!
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

Zonne ‘Despicable, but not even remotely surprising’.

This could become the response to every disgusting story about Johnson. What has to happen for the decent tories to get rid of him.
Are there any decent tories left?

The child was six months old at the time
Oh! I thought it was for him. My mistake.

DH made one for our DC, probably cost a few pounds.

The child was six months old at the time. I think Johnson has shown, with his daft comments about bedtime books, that he has very little knowledge about his children, but even he isn’t stupid enough to think a six month old needs a treehouse.

It’s quite blatantly Johnson flogging favours. Despicable, but not even remotely surprising.

Are we surprised? Think of the £850 rolls of wallpaper, the Lulu Guinness furnishings and God knows what else. I think he is mentally ill but still able to function, nobody in their right mind could possibly endure the criticism aimed at him from all quarters. I think the earlier comment about refusing children free school meals is spot on. They are both a freeloading pair of narcissists and I cannot wait to see the back of him.
