Boris Johnson lounges on the beach amid chaos at home and rumours of bid for Downing Street

Boris Johnson has been photographed at an exclusive beach bar in the Dominican Republic as rumours swirl around his potential attempt to return as Prime Minister. The former PM currently has the second-most MPs' nominations for the leadership, placing him some way behind Rishi Sunak and just ahead of Penny Mordaunt - but it's been claimed that he will secure the backing of the 100 MPs required to progress to the next round.

He's spent the last few days in the Caribbean with his wife Carrie, and was photographed relaxing in an exclusive resort on the day that Kwasi Kwarteng was fired as Chancellor - which, believe it or not, was only a week ago. The picture was taken last Friday at around 5pm in a resort that costs over £1,000 per night to stay in.

A British holidaymaker visiting a friend at the island’s Casa De Campo resort spotted the ex-premier looking “chilled out”, MirrorOnline reports.. The tourist told the Mirror: “It’s basically the most exclusive place you can be in the Dominican Republic. It’s quite a big resort, you’ve got exclusive hotels and villas within there - they’re humongous these places.”
