Just what the world needs. Another Johnson.

This will bring his total number of children up to.....oh wait, we don't know...

Galassia · 31/07/2021 16:36

Yet he struggles with opening an umbrella! Grin

I really don't understand what he's playing at but I wish them both well and all best wishes for her pregnancy.

newnortherner111 · 31/07/2021 16:38

I hope for a trouble free pregnancy and a safe delivery of said child.

imamule · 31/07/2021 16:38

How will he afford it?

newnortherner111 · 31/07/2021 16:42

@imamule he could resign as Prime Minister and go back to being a poor journalist. Win-win for all then.

@imamule

That's what I wondered. He's apparently always moaning that he can't manage on his salary.

I'm pleased for her but surely this does not count as struggling with fertility??? As per her statement. A year and half gap between babies isn't a fertility problem!!
For those who have struggled with fertility and miscarriage, her statement is a bit attention seeking.

Cam77 · 31/07/2021 16:45

People like BoJo are "characters" and I admire his carefree attitude and narcissism to a certain extent (except the part about blanking one of his kids) - but they are an absolute nightmare when they get into politics and start faffing around with stuff that actually matters.

BettyAndFrank · 31/07/2021 16:47

How many will that be? Does he even know how many he has? He’s got the morals of an alley cat 🤮

Indeed

NeedNewKnees · 31/07/2021 16:49

Clearly he’s as skilled at birth control as he is with umbrellas

imamule · 31/07/2021 16:50

I did question the fertility thing as surely they conceived pretty quickly after Wilfred if they sadly lost a baby in the new year & are expecting another this christmas

I think she's used the term fertility issues incorrectly when referring to her loss. A bit clumsy.

Anyway all the best to her.
Not to him. Fuck him.

LaurieFairyCake · 31/07/2021 16:55

Very sorry for her loss

Even sorrier that this bloke is so bloody fertile

Agree , having struggled and miscarried myself I found that jarring.
imamule · 31/07/2021 16:56

Imagine if the PM was a women and having her 8th (?) child by a 3rd (?) father?!

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 31/07/2021 16:57

Wow but congratulations. Lost count but I hope he knows!

Unfortunately this does not distract from the ongoing political fall out and proxy wars between former policy originator Cummings and his wife who rose to her current position as his previous, political party marketing help, then girlfriend then wife and now multiple mother.

There is still a deadly pandemic with potentially even more economic collateral damage so I wish he is more focused on the job in hand in these dire times. He has not had a particularly successful track record personally nor his corrupt gaslighting inner core of doggy ministers. Apart from winning votes through his act and apparently getting Brexit done. The billions in corrupt off record personal deals with mates and party donors does need redress at some point but not with self appointed mates to make predetermined judgement. Does bring a father to young children mean any difference to pandemic childcare or education investment for regular electorate folks?

HmmmmmmInteresting · 31/07/2021 16:57

What's that, now ..eight kids. Bravo hipocrite.

Wafflethefuckinwonderdog · 31/07/2021 16:58

Ewww. He's vile

Nettleskeins · 31/07/2021 17:05

At the same age as Boris (55) with grownup children I confess I find the whole idea of a complete new family (for him) incredibly odd. Like an impulse in his part, although clearly not on hers. She is driving this, nothing wrong with that if he is malleable enough to be sucked in and treats her well, but it is just.. odd. And I wonder if as the years go by he is increasingly like someone detached from the whole process or dare I say disassociating. There is obviously a traumatic association in his mind with family life . Children, siblings and mothers "good"...fathers...well, role model confused

RunnerDown · 31/07/2021 17:06

Doesn’t detract from the fact he is a narcissistic lying shit. He has used taxpayers money to fill the coffers of his cronies, decorate Downing Street and build super yachts. And many more ordinary children will grow up with less money and fewer opportunities in life because of his actions.

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 31/07/2021 17:07

Clearly he’s as skilled at birth control as he is with umbrellas

But he's just had Dilyn the dog neutered for being too randy in Downing Street so he has some understanding of the matter.
