Sir Rocco Forte was such an admirer of Boris Johnson that he paid for a £12,000 party to celebrate his victory in the Tory leadership contest before handing over another £100,000 to back the Conservatives at the last General Election.
Now, the hotel tycoon and leading Brexiteer has launched an astonishing attack on the Prime Minister for failing to ‘control’ his wife, Carrie.
‘One of the important things, of course, is to keep his wife under control,’ Sir Rocco told guests during a speech at a Club Di Londra dinner at Brown’s Hotel, which he owns in Mayfair.
The guests were mainly Italian businessmen, but his Italian wife, Aliai (pictured, with Rocco), was also present.
He added of Boris: ‘Unfortunately, when we elected him he didn’t have a wife, and now’s he’s got a wife who had a child, then a second child, and actually tells him what to do.’

It was a big U-turn as he’d previously sung Boris’s praises, explaining of his £100,000 donation in 2019: ‘It is the first time I have given any money for a long time, because until now I didn’t believe in the leadership. I didn’t believe they were true Conservatives.
‘I have made big donations in the past in the Thatcher days and in the initial years of John Major’s government but not after that.’
