IT is still a mystery who donated the Grimsby Town FC bobble hat to prime minister Boris Johnson in time for his August holiday on the windswept Scottish west coast.
It was thought he might reveal the secret in the latest edition of the MPs' Register of Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality, but there is no reference to the Mariners' hat that was famously featured in both national and local media.

However, he does reveal that, before flying to Scotland, hospitality worth £3,060 was provided free to him, girlfriend Carrie Symonds and their baby son, Wilfred, in the plush Windsor suite at Heathrow Airport.
It is not known if their beloved pet terrier, Dylan, also stayed in the suite or if he was driven up to Scotland by a chauffeur.
Since becoming PM, Mr Johnson has cut back on his journalistic activities - his weekly column in The Daily Telegraph is on hold - but he still receives substantial monies from other sources.
These include royalties from publishers Hodder & Stoughton and Harper Collins for books - including The Churchill Factor - written before he entered No 10.
