Boris Bans Ministers From Attending Davos Summit

Says they should ‘deliver, not sip champagne with the billionaires’

Boris Johnson has banned ministers from attending the Davos summit next month — insisting they should be busy ‘delivering’rather than sipping ‘champagne with billionaires’.

The PM has issued the edict as he hammers home his message to working-class voters who ‘lent’ the Tories their support in the bombshell election.

Previously premiers and senior ministers have been keen to go to the World Economic Forum event, where the global elite gather to network.

But the opulent surroundings of the Swiss ski resort, where business leaders and politicians have lavish dinners, would have grated with the new-look Conservatives.
