Boris Johnson's son Wilfred sports incredible mop of blonde hair as dad leaves Number 10

Boris Johnson leaves Downing Street with his mop-haired mini-me son Wilf in tow as he departs for the summer recess.

Several MPs have left London for the end of the parliamentary term, with them not due back in the House of Commons until the beginning of September.

It seems the soon-to-be ex-Prime Minister is one of those off on his holidays as he was seen leaving the rear of No.10.

Luckily, he remembered one of his most important pieces of luggage - his lookalike two-year-old son Wilf.

Like his father, the toddler seems adverse to a comb with his long blonde locks billowing in the wind as his father gently cradled him in his arms.

The little lad was last seen two weeks ago in the wake of Boris Johnson resigning the Premiership as his own Tory MPs turned against him after months of scandal.

After delivering his statement the PM was greeted by wife Carrie as well as Wilf and seven-month-old daughter Romy inside No.11 - the home they will soon have to vacate.

An insider said of the night before his stunning resignation: “Boris then talked through his predicament with Carrie who has an astute political brain.

“She told him she thought the game was up, but they agreed to sleep on it.”

Earlier this month it was reported the PM planned to build a £150,000 treehouse for his young son at Chequers.

The couple wanted to build the treat during autumn 2020 but had to pull the plug as it raised security concerns.

The treehouse's design included bulletproof glass but could be seen by the roadside, prompting police to warn the PM about the risks involved.

There were discussions about having Lord Brownlow, a Tory donor ranked the 521st richest person in the UK last year, fund the project, with plans for the treehouse drawn up for the country retreat, it has been reported.

Some No10 aides warned Mr Johnson against the project due to the cost and the matter of it being more expensive than some homes in many parts of the UK.

Full details of the treehouse are unclear, although it was suggested the project was “extensive”.

Some luxury treehouses can include things like rope bridges and zip wires, while others have hot tubs and are let out on Airbnb.

Caryn Mitten, Blue Forest's marketing director, reportedly said play houses start at about £90,000 and go up to “whatever you want to pay”.

The PM previously said he was a “pretty hands on” dad with little Wilf.
