DOWNING Street has revealed what Boris Johnson will spend his last two weeks doing in the prime ministerial office.
Johnson is expected to divide his time between No 10 and his country retreat Chequers this week, after returning from a yet another holiday - this time in Greece.
The "care-taker" Prime Minister had only just returned from Slovenia - fresh from his big wedding party with Carrie on a Tory donor's estate - when he jetted off to Evia.
Sources say there's very little going on in Westminster - telling the i newspaper that No 10 has “completely checked out” and that the situation at the heart of power was “really bad”.
But Downing Street insists Johnson will be back at his desk for the next 14 days.
Johnson’s final fortnight in office will include restating support for Ukraine and highlighting measures to address the cost-of-living crisis, Downing Street said.
The Prime Minister’s successor will be confirmed on September 5, when either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak emerges as the victor in the Tory leadership race, with the formal handover of power due to take place the following day.
“A large focus this week is on reiterating our support for Ukraine, and that is an unwavering commitment that we have to supporting Ukraine in the face of an illegal war,” a No 10 spokeswoman said.
“The Government is also focused on supporting people with the cost of living and making sure that those who are eligible for the £37 billion of support that’s already available through our phased-in plan are availing themselves of it.”
But no more help is expected to be announced before the new prime minister takes office, with major policy decisions postponed until that point.
