You may have seen the story from @sophie_e_hill of My Little Crony.
She found out that Dyson Technical Training Ltd, a direct subsidiary of the Dyson company, appointed Boris Johnson's brother Jo Johnson to its board in Feb 2020.

What's the issue? Lord Johnson might have done nothing wrong. But his brother -the PM- WAS being texted by James Dyson in March 2020. Then Johnson said he'd 'fix' a tax issue so Dyson employees wouldn't pay extra tax if they came to the UK to make ventilators during the crisis.
The interesting thing, though, is the timing...
Lord Jo Johnson was appointed to Dyson Tech in Feb 2020.
The texts between his brother, Boris, and his effective boss happened in March 2020.
But Lord Johnson's appointment was only made public and registered on 24 April 2020.

It took 66 days to register Lord Johnson, not the 14 days that Companies House demands.
"You must tell Companies House within 14 days if you make changes to ...directors."

Why the delay? For transparency we'd like to know. Boris has said that there is nothing untoward.
But with the PM's brother linked to a company texting the PM for tax breaks... there is a public interest in knowing why it took so long for his directorship to be registered.
