Couple responds to claims that his wife gave employee 15 minutes to pack her bags after three days in job
Boris and Carrie Johnson have denied claims made by their former nanny that she was fired after having a glass of wine with the ex-prime minister.
Theresa Dawes, 59, said that she was let go after three days in the role when Mrs Johnson gave her 15 minutes to pack her bags and leave.
The woman, from Zimbabwe, is now considering legal action against the Johnsons, as she alleges that she is owed thousands of pounds for an agreed three-month contract, along with severance pay.
Ms Dawes said that the dismissal came after she was invited by Mr Johnson to join him for a glass of rose to toast the arrival of the new baby, Frank Alfred Odysseus, born on July 5.
