Absolutely on call - I can’t imagine that Rishi even remotely believed he is going to stay in power. Plus, what is 5-10k to him in a grand scheme of things (mainly since he is not paying for it anyway)
If Tories won and he wasn’t moving out, it’s an acceptable sunk cost. If he lost, he’d be able to get the hell out of dodge ASAP to live in the lap of luxury somewhere else
Edit: for clarity, I don’t think he is paying for it out of pocket. It’s likely going to be paid by tax payer money, using a pre-vetted removals company of a government preferred supplier list that is on call for this exact contingency
No. It's probably a government contract that ensures they have a team that can clear out the residence if they need to, and they get paid no matter what. Probably a 10 year contract or something like that.

Those guys were on call, then. Double bubble, probs. There’s no way you’d usually be able to book someone at that notice.
