Boris Johnson is still living in the £20million Foreign Secretary residence rent-free despite quitting the role.
He resigned from his cabinet position over Prime Minister Theresa May’s strategy for Brexit negotiations with the European Union.
But despite ditching the job 11 days ago, he is still living at the central London property he moved into two years ago when he was appointed.

As he resides in One Carlton Gardens, Johnson is also raking in tens of thousands renting out a four-storey Georgian property four miles away, Mirror Online reports.
Johnson is expected to receive a £17,000 payoff after quitting his cabinet job.
He has been urged to pack his bags and shift out of the house near Buckingham Palace so that new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt can move in.
Labour MP Catherine West accused Johnson of ‘taxpayer-funded squatting’, adding: ‘He should pack his bags and move on.’
Stephen Doughty MP said it was ‘extraordinary’ that the ‘failed Foreign Secretary’ remained at the property while renting out his own, pointing out that prime ministers vacate Number 10 in just one day.

A government spokesman said: ‘Former Ministers are expected to leave official residences as quickly as practicable at the end of their tenure, taking into account their personal circumstances and family needs.
‘We can confirm there is no additional cost to taxpayers involved.’
A Whitehall source claimed Hunt and Johnson had a ‘discussion’ about the Grade I listed home.
The source said the former Health Secretary lives in Pimlico but holds official engagements at One Carlton Gardens. Johnson is understood to still be paying all running costs of the private living area.
But the source confirmed that he has been living at the home rent-free as people close to him insisted Johnson has permission to stay until the end of the month as he prepares to move into a new home.
Royal Ballet choreographer Wayne McGregor rents Johnson’s Islington house in North London and moved in toward the end of 2016.

Johnson declared ‘rental income of more than £10,000 a year’ for the £2.3million house he bought in 2009 in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
The Mirror found a similar property on the same street was today being offered for £6,500 a month or £78,000 a year in rent.
Mr McGregor, who is thought to have met Johnson in 2015 at a school dance project, declined to comment when asked whether he would be moving back in to his home.

The Crown Estate – which looks after the Queen’s properties – owns One Carlton Gardens.
The Foreign Office leases the building and in 2015 officials paid £482,341 a year in rent on the property, meaning at least £13,000 has been spent on it since Johnson quit.
He wrote a column in The Daily Telegraph a week after leaving his role and it is understood that this will become a weekly role.
He earned about £250,000 a year writing a column for the paper before joining the Cabinet in 2016, describing the pay as ‘chicken feed’.
