How many holidays has Boris Johnson had as PM?

So just in the last five months the holidays we know about.
August - Somerset
October - Costa Del Sol - free given by Tory donor
December - 10 days - possibly Mustique?

Does anyone know if anyone has worked out how many holidays he has had altogether since becoming PM?
Although it wouldn't include breaks at Chequers.
Thanks.

Did you read your link or just the headline?

Johnson returned from Somerset and chaired his second Cobra meeting on Afghanistan in three days on Sunday afternoon, as well as speaking to Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, and the UN secretary general, António Guterres, about the Taliban takeover.

Cobra meeting on Friday - Somerset Saturday - Cobra meeting Sunday.

His HR department may have worked it out, why are you asking.

Interested in this thread?

Because there are so many holidays.
@Clavinova yes I know he had to return early from Somerset. He was MIA at the beginning of the evacuation though and only came back because of a public outcry.

Why?

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 19:08

If no one knows I will work it out.

Why do you need to know?

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 19:14

I don't need to know.
I would like to know.

I guess you’ll be able to traipse through articles if you want to?

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 19:19

Yes I will. Not exactly traipse, will be easy to find. But I was checking of someone had already done this e.g. on twitter.

He may not be my favourite person in the world, but for goodness sake, he's allowed a break!

How the devil did he get to Mustique for 10 days in December - his wife had just had a baby. Confused

gerardsbutler · 31/12/2021 19:29

Why? Why do you need to know?

LondonQueen · 31/12/2021 19:30

God forbid he has some time off, why don't you sacrifice all your annual leave too OP? You both have jobs to do...

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 19:30

@ajandjjmum Why not? They will have nannies.
Prince William went to Spain to go boar hunting soon after Catherine gave birth.

@ajandjjmum our middle child went abroad at 6 weeks. They’ve all been abroad at least twice before they turned 1. No reason they couldn’t
take the children to Mustique.

KeyErro · 31/12/2021 19:35

I imagine he doesn't think he has long left in the top role and is cashing in while he can..

KittenCatcher · 31/12/2021 19:36

The holiday in Mustique was aboutn 2 years ago

So the baby was born on 9th December. You're suggesting that between then and now - 31st December - he's had 10 days in Mustique?

DobbyTheHouseElk · 31/12/2021 19:52

Presuming he went to Somerset to visit his father?

I don’t believe he’s been abroad this month. When did he have time? He’s been on the tv quite a lot.

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 20:50

@DobbyTheHouseElk not live he hasnt. Anything was pre recorded.

I haven’t been paying that much attention. It certainly feels like he’s always on the news.

Could you explain how he could fit 10 days holiday into December, when his DD was born on the 9th, he was at a Press Conference on the 15th and in Milton Keynes on the 29th.

So @RoyalFamilyFan you are seriously expecting someone with a brain to believe that he, Carrie and Wilf jumped on an Air Mustique flight (I know they don't exist!) on the 15th with their less than one week old DD, to holiday in Mustique over Christmas. I have no words.

RoyalFamilyFan · 31/12/2021 21:57

@ajandjjmum you can easily fit in 10 days there. I have no idea if Carrie or any of his children were there.
It may not have been Mustique, but was clearly abroad.

Clearly, how?
