Downing Street was unable to confirm on Monday whether the Prime Minister would be returning to work from No 10 after his latest holiday. The sight of removal vans in Downing Street, a few weeks ahead of Boris Johnson’s exit date of September 6, prompted questions about where and how the outgoing prime minister is planning to spend his final weeks in office.
It was reported over the weekend that Mr Johnson is spending a week in Greece, with locals spotting him shopping alongside wife Carrie in a supermarket in Nea Makri, a town to the east of Athens. That holiday swiftly follows another break earlier this month, and comes amid warnings of further inflation and the threat of a recession later this year.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman confirmed on Monday that Mr Johnson is on leave and will return this weekend, but shed little light on where he will spend his time once he is back. The spokesman told reporters that Mr Johnson had paid for his own holiday and would be kept informed of any pressing Government business while away.
