Boris Johnson made headlines this week after he was pictured sunning it up in a luxury Spanish villa owned by billionaire Zac Goldsmith.
The 600-acre estate, which costs a staggering £250,000-a-week, has its own helipad for guests, tennis courts and two swimming pools.
But while the Prime Minister basks in the heat and plays with his paints, the UK is facing a slew of crises.
Brits are facing higher energy costs this winter, and fears of an energy outage are growing.
In fact, industry leaders have warned that factories are just “days away” from having to stop production due to the escalating energy costs.
The UK is also facing empty supermarket shelves due to the shortage of truck drivers and inflation.
Millions of people are also being hit by cuts to Universal Credit as the Tories refused to drop plans to ditch the £20-a-week increase.
But what do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the survey below.
Speaking about Johnson’s holiday, a Westminster source told the Mirror : “It’s fine the PM taking a break, but the timing shows just how out of touch he is with ordinary Brits facing bills, bills and yet more bills.”
The PM is also being urged to apologise for his Government’s failings during the pandemic – after a damming report was released.
It concluded that 20,000 lives could have been saved if the country had gone into lockdown earlier in March last year.
