Boris Johnson has been snapped sunning himself on a beach with his family as travel chaos rages across the country.
The Prime Minister, as well as his wife Carrie Johnson and their kids were seen today in Porthminster, St Ives, in Cornwall.
It comes as Britain faces the biggest rail strike in a generation later this month while multiple airports are in daily meltdown due to staffing shortages.
The photos were taken by eagle-eyed beachgoers at 2.30pm on Monday.
The Tory leader was wearing a white shirt and colourful swimming shorts and could be seen in one snap walking along the sea front with a plastic spade.
In another, he is sitting with Carrie and the children Wilfred and Romy.
Earlier in the day Mr Johnson had been at Southern England Farms in Hayle, just eight miles from the beach.
Temperatures are expected to hit 34C later this week in the south of England, with the Johnson’s returning to the site of the G7 Summit this time last year.
Last Wednesday it was confirmed members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 13 train operators will walk out on June 21, 23 and 25.
The strikes are over pay, conditions, 2,500 maintenance job cuts and ticket office closures and will cripple the services.
Separately the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) is also balloting workers for industrial action that could happen later in the summer.
It came days after the 24-hour Underground strike on Monday (June 6), during which Transport for London (TfL) advised passengers: "Do not travel unless necessary."
The union said it will be the biggest strike on the railways since 1989.
The coming months are threatening to turn into a “summer of discontent” as hundreds of thousands of workers across a raft of sectors gear up for possible industrial acton.
Most want a decent pay rise in the face of soaring inflation.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimated the planned rail and tube strikes will cause a hit of at least £91million to the economy, with London set to suffer the biggest output loss.
Meanwhile, pilots for easyJet have warned customers will turn their backs on the airline following "unprecedented chaos".
A letter from the easyJet branch of the French SNPL pilots’ union said that the airline has cancelled viable flights.
The letter reportedly said that easyJet is suffering “operational meltdowns” after bosses failed to heed staff warnings about surging demand.
Several UK airports which have seen long queues in recent weeks as the aviation sector struggles to cope with the spike in demand for travel.
