Boris Johnson, who has been accused of hiding during the exam results fiasco, has been tracked down while on holiday in Scotland.
The 56-year-old appears to have lived up to his promise that he would spend some of his holiday camping after the Daily Mail published images of Mr Johnson at a cottage and a bell tent he has been staying in with his family in the north of Scotland.
The PM, his fiancee Carrie Symonds and their young son Wilfred have been on holiday in Scotland since last weekend.
Previous prime ministers, including Theresa May and David Cameron, have allowed the press to take limited photographs of them on holiday, in return for privacy.
But Number 10 declined to tell the media where he had gone. It was also insisted he would not be cutting his break short to take charge of the exam results fiasco.
The exact of location of the holiday cottage has not been revealed but the Mail reported it as costing £1,500 a week to rent during the peak summer months.
Mr Johnson last month said he would be working “flat out” through the summer but revealed plans to escape for a mini-break at some point.
He said: “I would encourage people still to think of wonderful staycations here in the UK.
“There are all sorts of fantastic destinations, the best in the world.
“All my happiest holiday memories are of holiday vacations here in the UK, bucket-and-spade jobs or whatever, and I thoroughly recommend it.”
News of the PM camping with a four-month-old in tow has been met with some scepticism online.
