Are we really still going with the "personal security" story? I thought he had pivoted a couple of times to other, not necessarily more credible, stories.

Have you got evidence for otherwise? He does appear to have 3-4 security people, driver etc.

I guess technically he never said it wasn't for security. Apparently the 5m was an unconditional gift for campaigning for brexit, and how he had spent the money was “not the public’s business”.
