Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson is embarking on his second holiday in two weeks, against the backdrop of an ongoing government crisis with the UK government.

The UK is going through rough crises, including inflation and a historic drought as a result of unprecedented heat waves.

Nonetheless, the outgoing Prime Minister was spotted in Greece and went on a honeymoon to Slovenia with his 24-year-old wife, despite warnings of continued inflation and the threat of a recession later this year.

The prime minister’s official spokesman confirmed to reporters that Johnson “is on leave this week” and is not working on a day-to-day basis.

The spokesman added that the heads of government, even when absent, remain “informed on all urgent issues and take decisions, especially in matters of national security.

He stated that Dominic Raab, the Deputy Prime Minister is fully able to fill in for Johnson in all meetings, but none are currently scheduled, adding that The outgoing Prime Minister will take decisions on national security and will lead urgent decisions if necessary.

The frontman couldn’t give any details about the reasons behind Johnson’s decision, who couldn’t wait for his successor to be appointed in the September 5 internal election before going abroad.

Johnson has promised to stay in office until a new leader of the Conservative Party is chosen in September.

The Prime Minister holidays became the center of criticism in the country especially for the politicians, “It’s all just one big party for Boris Johnson while the country struggles with the Tory cost of living crisis,” as a Labor spokesperson said in a statement.

“Based on the evidence of the past few months, it seems to make little difference whether the Prime Minister is in the office or on vacation, as he has yet to address the Conservative cost of living crisis,” added the same source.

Although, a large majority of Tory members would still prefer the current prime minister to either be Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss, according to the latest polls.
