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!

For anyone bored #superinjunction is a fun hashtag to search on Twitter...

@ancientgran

Poor Carrie got herself a prize didn't she.
She knew exactly what she was doing.

Nice to see the fire doors propped open with a wedge. Hmm

I take it the latest mistress is proving expensive.

Johnson "Yes its really that bad. I'm having to do my own shopping at Waitrose."

Boris is 'broke'!
Violetparis · 19/09/2020 17:27

I think the interesting thing is that right wing newspapers are turning on him, the Daily Mail knows this sob story won't go down well with the public.

Johnson "Yes its really that bad. I'm having to do my own shopping at Waitrose."
As well as cutting his own hair?

No wonder, then, that he has little time left to spend on a piffling little pandemic or a troublesome EU...

Maybe if he can’t afford a nanny, he could look in to a childminder. Much cheaper than a nanny, so there would be enough left over for a takeaway at the end of the week too.

RedToothBrush · 19/09/2020 17:34

Johnson "I have no fucking idea what they are talking about. Do we get free snacks at this meeting, I'm STARVING".

Well if Carrie goes back to work I'm sure she'll share, after all all money is family money!

RedToothBrush · 19/09/2020 17:59

Pff. Carrie can't afford to go back to work.
Its cheaper for Johnson if she cleans and looks after his son.

At least then they also won't have to worry about the rule of 6 and having a housekeeper and nanny in their household taking up the numbers.

Or shall we argue that if they aren't part of the gathering and Wilf is asleep upstairs they can still have 4 mates over?

As well as cutting his own hair? I thought the gardener did it, I just couldn't work out if it was with the lawn mower or shears.

strimmer?
AnnaMagnani · 19/09/2020 18:32

Carrie can't go back to work or get a nanny in.

If she leaves Boris alone with a woman he'll have his trousers down in under 30 seconds.

If we paid our MPs a higher salary we might get a higher quality of candidate.

Fuck no. We need Far more MPs who have been social workers, teachers and bin men, not more city types who cannot afford to live on £75,000 a year.

Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" And "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party

Well, you see, there's a formula to these things. 🤔
HappydaysArehere · 19/09/2020 19:07

The Times are saying the same thing about his money worries. Also Matthew Parris really goes to town on him.

Dozer · 19/09/2020 19:08

Yeah, not just the Mail, Times too. Saying he’s ‘underpaid’ and ‘overworked’!

Times is shit on Boris/politics.

Iwantacookie · 19/09/2020 19:09

I'll listen to him complaining about his salary when he lives in the real world and knows what real money worries are Angry

AKissAndASmile · 19/09/2020 19:10

Aaah Daily Mail! Must be true then 😂*

The same story is in The Times and the Mirror!

CherryPavlova · 19/09/2020 19:10

@WiserOlder

Not saying I sympathise! Just that I believe that he might not have quite enough money for a nanny and several children still to go through college!
In 2019 he had £1.6 million of reported income over and above his pay from Westminster. I’d have thought that was enough for a cleaner and nanny.
AKissAndASmile · 19/09/2020 19:11

Aaah Daily Mail! Must be true then 😂

If he has money worries that is a bit of a national security concern.
