Prime Minister and husband kick off three week holiday by Lake Garda



The Prime Minister jetted out to northern Italy yesterday for a five-day first leg with husband Philip. Mrs May will be briefly back on duty to attend World War I remembrance events in Passchendaele, Belgium, on Monday. But the Mays will then fly straight back out of Britain for a fortnight in the Swiss Alps - making her the first Prime Minister to take three weeks off since Tony Blair. The couple are keen hikers and are expected to spend much of the three weeks walking.
