Boris Johnson is "away" with his family in England's West Country, Number 10 has revealed, but his spokesman insisted the prime minister is not on holiday.
The PM headed off for a four-day break away from Downing Street on Sunday, after the final British troops left Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
But Downing Street insisted the PM was "continuing to work" as Britons and Afghans remained stranded after the withdrawal of forces from Kabul.
His spokesman refused to say Mr Johnson's time away amounted to a holiday in the face of repeated questioning from journalists at Monday's behind-closed-doors media briefing.

Spokesman’s statement
Quote:
The Prime Minister is away for the next two days in the west of England but is continuing to work and will be back in the office in Downing Street on Thursday.
“He left on Sunday, I believe.”
Asked if the trip was a holiday, he said: “He is away, as I say, out of the office for a couple of days but he is working.”
