The Johnson family was seen vacationing throughout the week at the many beaches and restaurants along the coast, just a few hours’ drive from Johnson’s father Stanley’s home in Horteau.

The trip to Greece is the vacation of the former prime minister and his second wife in a very short time. The couple had spent their late honeymoon in Slovenia.

There is criticism at home in Great Britain for the holiday trip. Because: as in Germany, many citizens have to deal with greatly increased prices and may no longer be able to afford so many vacations a year.

Rival Labor has even accused Johnson of laughing at people in Britain grappling with the exorbitant cost of living, calling him a “lame duck” with only weeks to go before he is replaced by Liz Truss (47) or Rishi Sunak (42). ).

Opposition leader Keir Starmer – who has just returned from vacation – has tried to capitalize on the government’s sense of drift by revealing plans to freeze energy bills for at least six months.
