Stanley Johnson says he is on 'essential business trying to COVID-proof my property in view of the upcoming letting season'.
The PM's father said air bridges had to be established"as soon as possible", saying:"From what I've seen the arrival of the British will not be a danger to the Greeks because they're so careful here."
Mr Johnson's trip has caused anger among MPs, amid claims it shows"it is one rule for the Conservatives and one rule for everyone else". Labour's shadow minister for mental health Rosena Allin-Khan said:"Most people have been following the guidelines and socially distancing - not everyone will get a holiday this year.Labour MP Kate Osborne said:"Dominic Cummings broke the lockdown rules now it's @BorisJohnson's father."They're laughing directly in the face of people up and down this country. Shame.
Neil Coyle, another Labour MP, told the Press Association:" has ignored government advice and he has also entered Greece through a secondary route, so I imagine the Greek authorities will be interested in how he has got there and what he is doing to ensure he's not spreading anything.Alistair Carmichael, a Liberal Democrat MP, said:"This is simply further evidence that when it comes to following the rules, it is one rule for the Conservatives and one rule for everyone else.
"Whilst the prime minister is continuing to ask people to make huge sacrifices, especially the people of Leicester, he must reflect on how much of a kick in the teeth these reports will be."
