Speculation has been mounting about the whereabouts of Boris Johnson, as the country has been experiencing the chaos of the “exam results” algorithm, a dismantling of Public Health England and ever-increasing job losses.
There has been widespread scepticism that the PM is genuinely camping in Scotland, as reported.

However, Friday’s Daily Mail front page carries this scoop.

Not that it dispelled the disbelief.
This has to be bullshit, right?
No way is Johnson camping with his three month old baby in Scotland. https://t.co/sgihOZyIkm

While many of us are worried about the months ahead, it clearly won’t be a winter of discount-tents for the PM https://t.co/J2tBDO73Ta

That’s the tent he stands outside, pissing in. Or inside pissing out. He can’t remember. pic.twitter.com/NDCMrUw9mx

What a load of bollocks. These pics guarantee he and Carrie are sat on a yacht somewhere with a nanny taking care of baby. https://t.co/sspyBycqas

Am I the only one to suspect that this is complete hogwash?
More likely to be tucked up somewhere in exclusive accommodation provided by one of his donors, or in one of his father’s properties… https://t.co/ujspr10lCV— The Beautiful Sausage (@sausageonstick) August 21, 2020

After the Mail’s page showing concern for asylum seekers earlier this week – and now this – it’s not surprising that James O’Brien pondered on the paper’s direction.
Wow. The Mail has plotted a fascinating course since Dacre stepped down/was defenestrated. I wonder if this is a glimpse of their destination. A stone cold scoop, either way. https://t.co/jMSQrZNb0z
