A senior Conservative MP has defended Boris Johnson's work ethic and claimed he is "continuing to work" while away on his second holiday in two weeks.

The prime minister, who has less than a month left in office, has now reportedly jetted off to Greece for a week – shortly after returning from an earlier trip.

The holidays are taking place despite surging inflation and the threat of a looming recession.
