BOJO PACKS A PUNCH

The Former Foreign Secretary finally moved out of his official residence after resigning two weeks ago

BORIS Johnson has revealed he regularly pounds a punchbag, as his possessions were moved out of his official residence.

Removal men and wife Marina loaded up a lorry outside the former Foreign Secretary’s grace and favour house in Carlton Gardens yesterday.

Snaps showed a raft of indoor gym equipment, including the jumbo red and black boxers’ punching sack.

Boris quit the Cabinet two weeks ago after his frustrations with Theresa May for softening Brexit boiled over.

The former London mayor was given two weeks grace by successor Jeremy Hunt to find a new home before he had to leave the palatial Grade I-listed house overlooking the Mall.

The Johnson family’s house in Islington is rented out.

A series of white boxes were loaded into the lorry yesterday, along with a case of Jacques Depagneux wine, a large painting and a luxury armchair.

Protesters have been picketing the property, and last week parked a van featuring the slogan Leave Means Leave Removals Ltd outside the residence.

Labour MP Catherine West said: “While many people in Westminster are stuck on housing waiting lists, this amounts to taxpayer-funded squatting from Boris.

“He should pack his bags and move on.”
