Boris and Carrie have had their baby

[boomchikawowwow]

I didn't realise she was due already. Baby boy born this morning!

He shouldn't be back at work if he isn't able to fulfill all of the duties of a Prime Minister in a national crisis. Let someone else do it and stay at one of the retreats again.

Wasn’t paternity leave one of the pieces of legislation introduced by the European Union?

Nope.

Well she will make history as the first unmarried mother in 10 Downing Street won't she?

Sorry are we in the 1950s?

I’m laughing at the ‘he’ll need to juggle work and baby’, a man who has a string of kids he doesn’t bother with including a 10 yr old daughter he’s never met.

I'm sure they'll find the funds to buy in help.

What another one? Am I bovvered!!
More worried about its hair!

I think because of his position/job and the ongoing crisis he is not really in a position to take any sort of meaningful leave right now, however, I do hope that Carrie has some sort of support, she has clearly gone through a rough time and as a human being I wish her and her baby well.

dont forget, there are whole boards on here that wouldnt exesit if we were all perfect judges of who to father our children.

humina

Where did you get your medical qualification? You obviously know far more than the doctors and nurses that looked after him in ICU.

Crikey what vile people there are in the world.

Hope mum and baby are ok.

Boris's wife will be devestated she lost her mum to cancer this week too

The PM will be a busy man!

Lol. No.

I can't believe some people are behaving like utter wankers on a thread like this. Twats.

He's been a well documented liar and shirker for decades. It's far more crazy to me and 'tin foil' that you believe a single word the man and his crew of liars say.

I can’t believe that he has a ten year old that he hasn’t seen. Absolute disgrace

a baby is a blessing and i feel sorry for carrie she's a young woman and had to shag that fat middle old liar while he was married to a woman with a cancer and has all these other children he wont admit to. it cant be easy.

The first unmarried mother in 10 Downing Street won't she? - Sorry are we in the 1950s?

We are not even in 2015 when Ed Miliband and partner were crucified for not being married in the Tory tabs.

A thread full of fucking horrors. Sickening.

Congrats Carrie. Hopefully they won't release the name of the hospital until she's home. Can't imagine all the press social distancing outside!

Congratulations to them both, what lovely news!

I would have said early summer was late may/early june but the statement was deliberately vague I think.

Crikey what vile people there are in the world

Think it's just on here actually. No wonder posters have gone to that other site. It really is spiteful on here sometimes

Yes but Carrie is a woman who has just had a baby when her partner nearly died, can you not put aside your bitterness and be a tiny bit happy for her

Bitterness lol! We are in a national emergency, the likes we haven't had for over 100 years, 1000s of families have lost loved ones.

Surely they would get a maternity nurse in usual circumstances, I think people in those type of circles normally do don't they? But not sure if it's allowed in the current climate. Well he shouldn't have moved to Chequers after being discharged from hospital and going to Downing St, Carrie shouldn't have left her London flat and moved to Chequers so I don't think they will let any silly rules stop them moving a maternity nurse in if that is what they want.

Do what we say not what we do.

A thread full of fucking horrors. Sickening

I think Carrie and Boris bringing a baby back to Downing Street with a picture call on the steps will be a lovely distraction from the relentless horror of this pandemic. But worried it might be seen as inappropriate. I wouldn't like to be responsible for the PR around this.

But it's lovely news. And I look forward to hearing the name. Good luck to them both. What a horrendous time they have had.

@Fallsballs- my first thought too.

My second thought was for Mary Agyapong’s family. I’ll save all my , ‘what a tough time they’re having’ for them .

I can't believe anyone on this site of all sites can be thrilled for Boris given how he's treated his 10 year old

I'm not thrilled for him. I do think it's important that he takes paternity leave; the more senior people in the public eye who do so the more normalised it becomes. You would think mumsnet would be full of posters wanting fathers to be routinely present for and actively involved in their children's lives.
