The new Prime Minister will be moving into the two-bedroom flat at Number 10, rather than the four-bed pad above neighbouring Number 11, which has been used by leaders since 1997
Rishi Sunak and his family will not be moving into the flat formerly occupied by Boris Johnson and briefly by Liz Truss, it was confirmed today.
Instead the millionaire will go back to the two-bedroom flat above 10 Downing Street that he occupied when he was Chancellor – and already had redecorated himself.
Prime Ministers generally move into the four-bed pad at Number 11, which Mr Johnson famously had decorated with lavish £840-a-roll wallpaper during his tenure.
Mr Sunak took the top job yesterday as Ms Truss departed after a disastrous six-weeks in charge which barely gave her enough time to unpack.
