Cost of living crisis? What Boris Johnson did on his holidays
Johnson has returned from his third holiday since being given the boot by Tory MPs in July for incompetence, lying and so on. He hopes to regain the Tory leadership and the PM’s job after which exertions it will surely be time for another holiday, paid for by someone but definitely not Johnson.
His first two post-boot holidays were during the Parliamentary summer recess. His latest jaunt to the Caribbean was while Parliament was sitting. He remains an MP and is paid to represent his constituents in the Commons not in the Dominican Republic.
The Guardian has the story of where Johnson stayed. What cost of living crisis?
They are understood to have stayed at the Casa de Campo luxury golf resort, where celebrity guests are said to have included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
Rooms cost from $766 (£683) a night, including taxes and fees, while a five-bedroomed villa will set guests back $3,204 a night, according to the hotel website. Villa guests enjoy a personal maid and butler service, a breakfast freshly prepared in their villa, and the use of three golf carts to transport them around the sprawling 7,000-acre (2830-hectare) resort.
Described by the Dominican Today news website as a “refuge for millionaires and celebrities”, it is located in the historic sugar mill town of La Romana. The Forbes Travel Guide writes: “Here peace, quiet and privacy are important tenets and you’ll find professional, discreet staff.”
