Congratulations to them.

@PercyPigAndMe I'm not the only one saying it so I don't know why you keep tagging me.

Because having a child is about the most irresponsible thing you can do from a global resources/climate change perspective. Now, I don't give a fuck what people do and don't do but coming from the man that wants to curtail my life and cost me a great deal in taxes, I do find it a tad galling that he's spawning quite so many offspring yes. Total hypocrite.

Congrats to them both! Not a huge BJ fan but all new life is sacred .Also if Carrie is on here, Hoping all goes well for you and Babe. We may not think BJ is amazing but she obv does and I think all births are something to celebrate surely?

@Nettleskeins

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.

I think it was a clumsy term regarding struggling with baby loss and trying again rather than failing to concieve. Badly worded but the contents of the article make it clear they haven't struggled to actively concieve

Women are constantly vilified for having babies with different dads. He has about 8 kids that he acknowledges with several different mothers and its pats on the back all round.

I don't know of he is having another baby for public image reasons, I suspect so. But there is nothing funny in any of this. You have to hope the child grows up to be nothing like their father.

Who's the mother this time?

BoJo and Reemo, 12 kids and counting?

@Nettleskeins

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

Spot on. I'm the same age as well and the idea of having another family again is, I suspect, nothing to do with him. He's just a pleaser/wants to be liked. He'll be mid-70s when this one goes to university.

But the thought of that thing looming over you, humping away.

Bloody ‘ell. He’s literally the Pat Mustard of politics.

We may not think BJ is amazing but she obv does and I think all births are something to celebrate surely?

I completely side eye & judge her but wish the best for the baby.

I wish the innocent baby all the best, but no, I do not think this pregnancy is something to be celebrated. BJ has enough children already.

I just threw up in my own mouth a little bit

@EssentialHummus

And I think her comments about miscarriage are fine actually - it sounds like she had an early loss and then got pregnant again, but was/is nervous during this pregnancy as a result. Sounds fine to me. I'm a fan of talking about pregnancy loss more rather than less.

I think it’s fine too. She didn’t say “fertility struggles”, she said “fertility issues” which I think is an ok way to word it

Surprised that anyone wants to have sex with him more than once though tbh

@imamule

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

^ This.

Not to mention the Tories and their vile stereotyping of single mothers - how many single mothers has Boris left in his wake because he can’t keep his dick in his pants

I don't know of he is having another baby for public image reasons, I suspect so.

I predicted this several months ago - Carrie will take one for the remainder and get pregnant again so that Johnson can resign and use his young/growing family as the perfect excuse. Throw in some waffle about his health post-covid and some clumsy metaphors about steering the ship through the storm and handing the helm over to a new captain and the resignation speech will practically write itself. He'll go either just before or just after the new baby arrives.

*take one for the team

I don’t know if he’s having another baby for public image reasons, I suspect so.

Now, I’m not suggesting he’s having a baby to deflect bad press suspect another baby was her choice, not his but it’s startling good timing to announce it the same day the FT front page highlights his cosy wealthy men’s club

So essentially create a mess of unprecedented proportions and then leave others with more skill and care to clean up said mess. Resorting to hiding behind fatherhood even though he is possibly the man with most known (yet alone undeclared) children given his propensity to play the perpetual marriage number with a band of merry new ever younger wives. That is it then!? So all short term done that got the Pn t shirt and now pay back from his money men mates as his lordship of the manor complete with a new household of young infants?!

Regardless of anyone's feelings toward the Johnsons, I don't think it's down to us to police how, when, or where other women talk about fertility issues or pregnancy loss. Miscarriage is a fertility issue, fertility problems are defined as difficulty in getting or staying pregnant.

@MadameOvary81

It's about time he was taken to the vet and neutered.

You win the thread afaiac @MadameOvary81

In short: yes.

I will honestly be shocked if he doesn't resign and if he doesn't use this, at least in part, as the reason why.

I'll honestly be shocked if he doesn't resign and cite fatherhood as at least part of the reason.

In this context, fertility issues is code for getting a second one in before he moves on to his next partner victim.
