Congratulations to them.

He's charismatic, powerful, intelligent, well-educated, wealthy, well-spoken

If he's wealthy why is he moaning about having no money. It took him a long time to negotiate his divorce settlement with Marina Wheeler, (all whilst Covid was erupting and he was ignoring it), so I doubt he is wealthy.

Well-educated... possibly. Intelligent - no.
Well spoken... full of soundbites and buffoonery. Just a parody of well spoken.

Charismatic? Maybe if his sort of 'charisma' appeals. Personally I can see right through him.

@Monday26July

Imagine the self esteem issues Carrie must have to be willing to carry Boris Johnson’s children. Utterly sad.
I don't think the meddling, power hungry, gold digging, new Mrs Johnson has any self esteem issues Grin

I suspect he spends more than he earns. See debacle over wall paper.

TooManyPlatesInMotion · 01/08/2021 14:32

I hope he is a better parent than he is politician... Oh wait... That's right, he's not clear how many kids he has.

Roussette · 01/08/2021 15:07

Exactly. He's not wealthy, he has had expensive divorce settlements, children to support, expensive habits... which is why Tory donors have to pay for his holidays

Who puts “well-spoken” on their list of must-haves in a partner? Confused Christ that’s a low bar Hmm. Never mind the philandering, the lying, the grift, the laziness, the unhealthy lifestyle and repulsive physique- no, he’s well-spoken so let’s breed with him Hmm.
lynsey91 · 01/08/2021 15:34

He hides his intelligence well. Also if by saying he is well spoken you mean he talks posh then yes he does. He certainly is not a good speaker. He is terrible with all the umms and errrs and stuttering and stammering. I can't bear to watch him talk as he irritates me so much I feel like kicking in the tv screen.

How does she listen to that every day?

Also, as other posters have said, the cheating on other wives, the continual lying plus how repulsive he is make me think she must be desperate for a man and/or children

He's allegedly very tight but his outgoings (because of his lifestyle choices) must be high. I don't know whether she has money as, although her father is presumably quite wealthy, they're estranged. I suspect that's why she's drawn to Johnson (also close to his father as well).

They don’t seem to be very close to Stanley Johnson, he discovered he was about to be a grandfather again from The Telegraph.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 01/08/2021 16:14

I'm shocked people think he's well-spoken. My dictionary is obviously different to everyone else's Confused

newnortherner111 · 01/08/2021 16:16

@a8mint I expect Carrie Johnson could well have self-esteem issues, and has been subject to criticism a man would never have such as the Carrie Antoinette and Princess Nut Nuts nicknames.

newnortherner111 · 01/08/2021 16:17

@Blossomtoes most fathers would have disowned a son like Boris Johnson if they were ever as unfortunate. If I had a member of my family as bad as him I would not even attend their funeral when it came, as it would be hypocritical to do so.

the Telegraph is the first port of call for most info these days
HmmmmmmInteresting · 01/08/2021 16:25

If posh means went to Eton, is as entitled as fuck and pandered to by the masses then Johnson is the poshest man in the universe.

HeddaGarbled · 01/08/2021 16:31

Ha, I don’t think Stanley Johnson could in any way stand in judgement on his son’s behaviour.

YogaLite · 01/08/2021 21:25

@lynsey91
How does she listen to that every day?

I expect he has to listen to her more than the other way around, having sacked Cummings she is now his unofficial advisor and ruthless at that.

Absolutely. The words pot and kettle spring to mind.
