- if he was in Perugia for a weekend then that would be entirely fine. Italy isn't under travel restrictions.
However on the weekend in question at the times he was meant to be in Perugia he has been: photographed in the Cabinet Office (Friday evening while video messaging the Parliamentary Conservative Party as mentioned after he was supposedly in Perugia), photographed in Westminster Cathedral (while supposedly in Perugia), photographed in Downing Street (Monday morning, before he supposedly returned from Perugia, a photo snapped by the Paparazzi and used on the front cover of the Evening Standard).
Someone has clearly got their facts wrong, but it doesn't seem to be Downing Street.
