New messages reveal how Jennifer Arcuri bypassed City Hall officials by using her direct link to Boris Johnson to sign him up to her business events.

The American businesswoman committed the then-London mayor to functions without him even knowing, according to 240 pages of emails and documents, released under freedom of information laws.

Ahead of 2013 talks with Silicon Valley executives, she told officials to discuss it with Mr Johnson as he was “my point of contact”.

At one point Ms Arcuri was reminded to make speaking requests through his private office.
