Johnson-Symonds theory

[SnowBrussels]

• Boris Johnson says that talk of moving in together to No 10 would be presumptuous and dodged a question on marriage.
• They haven’t been seen together in public since The Row.

Does anyone else think they’ve split up but won’t announce it until after the vote?

Possibly. Not sure it makes any difference though because his history with women is not a secret.

I'm hoping she and Mr and Mrs Gove are comparing notes on BJ and cooking up a final strike to finish off his number 10 bid. Sadly, I expect this is a fantasy and the Tories will inflict him on the rest of us. Why not? A comedian in the Ukraine, a loon in the White House, let UK join in too with floozy in tow.

I thought that as soon as I saw the lovey dovey pics in the field or beer garden wherever it was. I think they've split up and they're not saying anything because they don't want any more attention on his love life just now not that anyone cares enough about it to keep him out of number 10

I think there’s another reason- he is avoiding any discussion whatsoever about his personal life in order to be able to rely on privacy law (for family and himself). If he draws his private life into the public arena then it’s open season on all of it and the identity of the mother of the 6th child is liable to be disclosed.

Sadly his terrible history with women doesn’t seem to make any difference to his chances.
I’m also surprised there’s been so little discussion about the sixth child even on social media but I think they’re covered by an injunction.

They may well have split - I imagine her parents wouldn't have been best pleased when this incident came to light.
