Apologies for the fail link.

But awww, diddums, Boris is struggling to afford a nanny and complaining about supporting his other children.

How my heart bleeds!

He could retrain as a teacher, plenty of job security there and working with so many children that he wouldn't need to have any more of his own.

Oh god, imagine him smarming over all the mums

[pussycatinboots]

@Stinkyguineapig

If he did resign though, who is suitable as a replacement? The rest of them dont really inspire confidence .....

It makes Chris Grayling look appealing, almost.

We don’t. The Times said it first. The DM has stolen it.

Is this why he spent his holiday in a tent? Couldn't even afford the optional upgrade to glamping.

Oh, bless, the poor little love.

If only there was some way to avoid having to pay so much child maintenance and hush fees. A simple little day surgery procedure, free on the NHS, meaning you don't have to scrabble around the back on the sofa to find some pennies for latex things (that could also stop the bills increasing yet again if used correctly and reliably) as a defence against the consequences of seminal incontinence.

@pandafunfactory

I think the story is there to lead breadcrumbs to the story they can't report, the one that's all over Twitter and will lead to him paying more child support

Oh really! Tell us 👂

Can you imagine him trying to enforce a school dress code?

Or ever getting the kids to lesson 1 in time after he goes off on one in assembly?

[AnnaMagnani]

I suspect it is true and Boris hates being PM because it's too hard and he's expected to work, plus he's used to having far more money.

However the stuff about child support is blatantly about the story everyone wants to write about but can't, however is easily findable on twitter or google.

Hadley Freeman was cheerfully alluding to it in her Spectator column - 'unmentionable gossip about Boris' which she then decides to talk about about 4 times without telling us what it is.

The right wing press billionaires are fed up. Murdoch wants Gove in, as if that will magically be any better. There will be masses of negative stories about Boris from now on.

Poor Carrie got herself a prize didn't she.

[Taja123]

I though the PM also got their MP salary too soo isn’t it about £220k all told

[Taja123]

Even if not + MP salary then £150k seems low

But It’s too much for him

Performance related he is at IOU stage

@MildDrPepperAddiction

Clap for Boris. That'll help him.

I might pop out for that one

[netsybetsy]

He's the kind of guy who only wants things and people until he's got them. Then he gets bored and finds the reality too hard - including his job, ex-wives, kids and pretty much any other responsibility he's taken on.

Poor Carrie??

Why-was she somehow duped about him, or did she decide for herself to get involved with a twice married man who already had 4kids by his wife and 1 or 2 from affairs?

[RedToothBrush]

£150,000 for doing NOTHING but standing around trying (and failing) to log into his facebook account to see how many 'likes' he's got today?

Is the Nanny for him or Wilf?

[MidnightCitrus]

@Stinkyguineapig

I thought the PM job would pay more than £150k

I think most of them either come from wealthy families Eg Boris, David Cameron, or make their money afterwards with books and after dinner speeches.

Maybe Carrie could take in some ironing? 😉

Or see what she could sell in Facebook as well

[dottiedodah]

Does Carrie work? If not why the need for a F/T Nanny? Boris has a lot of commitments paying for his many DC.I thought he and his Fiancee only recently bought a house together. This is a silly story IMO he is hardly "worse off ." As PM as he is likely to be offered many foreign "jollies " as Tony Blair showed many times . He has a weekend home at Chequers ,full use of a Central London Apartment and presumably rents out his own home anyway!Should he decide not to be PM any more he will no doubt be offered a seat on many a company board ,and a plethora of lucrative Book Deals all lined up! Plus The Telegraph will no doubt welcome him back with open arms! Hardly a life in the gutter is it!

No. They get it instead.

Johnson: "Fuck Matt, what am I going to do? This is serious. I might actually have to look after my own child this time."

Hancock: "I know I am the biggest suck up in Government and I'll do or say absoluetely anything else to get back into your good books, but NO I'm not going to volunteer to change Wilf's nappy."
