Boris Johnson's Personal Mobile Number Online For 15 Years: Reports

The number, which the BBC reported was still used by the Conservative Party leader, appeared on a press release from 2006 when Johnson was an opposition MP.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's personal mobile phone number has been on the internet for 15 years, media reports said Friday, raising questions about national security. The number, which the BBC reported was still used by the Conservative Party leader, appeared on a press release from 2006 when Johnson was an opposition MP. When the number was called by AFP on Friday, there was an automated message indicating that the phone was disconnected. The revelation comes as Johnson is under scrutiny over a lavish makeover of his Downing Street, and close ties between big business and UK politicians, including text messages he exchanged with industrialist James Dyson.
