Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson.

Boris does it again: just days after leaving office, Johnson goes on vacation again

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss remains the best place to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister, according to the YouGov/Sky News poll published on Thursday. He would have the support of 66% of the members of his party, the Conservative. Liz prepares and Boris, what does Boris do in the last days of his term? Go on vacation... again.

Johnson was forced to resign on July 7, after fifty people around him resigned, fed up with the scandals and lies of the now outgoing prime minister. The most optimistic expected exemplary and discreet behavior from the prime minister during the short period of time that remained until he left power on September 6. The most realistic, who knows him, no.

This week Boris Johnson has gone on vacation: for the second time in a fortnight. If at the beginning of August he spent a week with his wife Carrie in a spa in Slovenia, now he has chosen sunny Greece. The Sunday Mirror revealed that the prime minister had flown to the Hellenic country during the past weekend.

It's only for urgent things

Already in destination, this is how the Mirror tells it: "While the British learn that the real value of their salaries is falling at the fastest rate in the last 20 years, Johnson was photographed topless in a lonely cove on the island of Evia, near Athens, wearing black bathing pants".

In Slovenia, he has been to a spa where guests are asked to get rid of their phones and laptops.

Nor was the place chosen for the first vacation rest just any place. The prime minister and his wife stayed at Vila Planinka, a Slovenian seaside resort where rooms cost between €285 and €640 a night and where guests are asked to get rid of their phones and laptops.

As in the rest of Europe, inflation is skyrocketing in the UK at above 10%. One of its consequences is the strike of the country's railways. The strike of its more than 45,000 workers left the country's train network practically paralyzed this Thursday.

In that context, Johnson has taken a few days. According to the English media, Boris and Carrie are in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens. Fate is no stranger to the Johnsons. His father, Stanley, owns a villa in the town of Horto, in the north of the island.

But Boris would win if he was in the race

Like most of the media, Labor has shouted to the heavens. Britain's left has accused the still-prime minister of treating his final months like a party: "Everything is one big party for Boris Johnson as the country struggles to pay its bills."

Everything is a party for Johnson as the country struggles to pay its bills."

A Labor spokesman said: "In view of the last few months, it seems that it doesn't matter whether the PM is in office or on holiday, as he has consistently failed to meet the challenge of the cost-of-living crisis for Tories".

We'll see if Michael Winterbottom and Kenneth Branagh have taken note and will arrive in time to include this final episode in the miniseries they are shooting about Boris Johnson for Sky. It's called This England and is co-written and co-directed by Winterbottom. Branagh plays the former prime minister.

We finished with the YouGov/Sky News survey that we mentioned at the beginning. Held before 1,089 members of the Conservative Party, it shows that the two candidates remain less popular than Boris Johnson. If he were in the electoral race he would get 46% of the vote, compared to 24% for Truss and 23% for Sunak.
