The Prime Minister, wearing a suit, was picked up by an official car from the Hotel Atlantis the Palm in Dubai

Eyewitnesses who were staying at the Hotel Atlantis the Palm in Dubai over Easter told me this morning that on one occasion, they saw the Prime Minister, who was staying there with his family, being picked up by an official limousine, and he was wearing a suit. He was unaccompanied.

The same eyewitnesses said that it was a complete coincidence they saw him that day, and that he may well have been picked up similarly on other days only they were not there to see it. In other words, we know for a fact that he was collected from the Hotel Atlantis the Palm at least once by an official limousine while wearing a suit, but we do not know at this stage whether he was similarly collected at other times during his ‘holiday’.

The Prime Minister is currently under pressure from the Opposition to publish the invoices for his holiday for four at what is one of Dubai’s most expensive hotels. He has refused to do so.
