Still something that's not an option for the vast majority of us, which is to leave the city for a rest in our countryside castle.
Sure, but Daniel's criticism of him was that, like HM, or Charles and Camilla, or like some other people with second homes in the countryside (though not so grand) he was leaving the city for his country retreat to try to avoid the pandemic, which does not seem to me fair, since he's going there to recover from the pandemic of which he has already been a victim.
Furthermore, since, rightly or wrongly, he gets the use of Chequers as a perk of the job, just as the US President gets the use of Camp David, I don't really see he can fairly be criticized for using it during his recuperation -- he's not going to be working for a week or so, so what does it matter where he is?
There's plenty about his conduct and decision-making before and during the crisis for which Keir Starmer and Labour will rightly hold him to account when he is recovered, after all, but I just don't think his choice of residence while he's recovering from an illness serious enough to put him in intensive care for a week can properly be included in the list of complaints and grievances.
