What prime ministers really get up to behind closed doors at Chequers
self-isolation Boris Johnson spent at Chequers in July after coming into contact with the Covid-infected Health Secretary Sajid Javid.Other diversions at Chequers include the swimming pool, given by the American ambassador to Britain, Walter Annenberg, in honour of President Nixon’s visits in 1969 and 1970 – although Mrs Thatcher saved £5,000 a year by turning off the heat in the pool. Carol Thatcher once had a race there with the Archbishop of Canterbury’s wife, Lord Hailsham and Robin Day’s wife Katherine.
