Just announced on BBC news.

Blimey, what a week in Downing Street.

How convenient Hmm

Amberflames · 09/12/2021 10:39

Very happy for Carrie, hope she’s doing well no matter how the baby arrived.

Some really nasty, cynical people on this thread.

@bluebell34567

is this their 3rd child together?
Not unless there’s a secret child somewhere. Their eldest is yet to turn two.

When are the mainstream media going to report on Carrie's party last November?

girlmom21 · 09/12/2021 10:40

@KirstenBlest

She probably had it days ago and they're announcing it today to cover up the Christmas party scandal
The scandals been going on for 2 weeks...
Mia85 · 09/12/2021 10:41

Sounds as if it's a good time for him to resign to 'spend more time with his family'... hopefully...

VodselForDinner · 09/12/2021 10:41

I wonder will they keep a newspaper from today for her memory box?

GattioAnyone · 09/12/2021 10:42

Some very realistic and depressed people on this thread I suspect.

2nd. 2nd for Carrie, not sure which for Boris.

@midsomermurderess

Of course it's not going to distract from the other issues. This 'dead cat' nonsense is so stupid, everything being read as a distraction from something thing else ad nauseum. It's fatuous idiocy.
Oh god THANK YOU for this sanity. I'm no Boris lover, the guy's clearly incompetent and corrupt, but the 'good timing' crowd credit him and his staff with magical powers if they think that the entire pandemic has been carefully orchestrated to promote this and cover up that.

He's fire fighting. There is no 'plan'. No cover up. No 'distraction' and no conspiracy.

It's a shit show in plain sight. That's all it is.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 09/12/2021 10:43

I wish good health to the mother and child.

He really needs to tie a knot in it now though.

Her first was an ECS so I would imagine this one was too.

@Wondering1000

OMG some of you are so cynical as to be nuts! As if this was all according to some master plan Hmm

Wobble your heads!!!

I think it’s pretty naive to think that some stories aren’t slotted in to try and distract from others

This government have already shown to be a bunch of dishonest, corrupt pricks. Why would anyone think that they wouldn’t pull some news to take centre stage in an attempt to distract from their dishonesty?

Yes.

I get so tired of everyone shouting 'dead cat' as though Boris Johnson & Co are master strategists rather than a failing government careering from one disaster to another.

Cyrilgoggin · 09/12/2021 10:48

I wish them all well. A new baby is always a joy.

ThatCampWitch · 09/12/2021 10:49

If they steal my baby name I’m going to loose my shit! He’s taken enough from me.

CaliforniaDrumming · 09/12/2021 10:49

I remember how Boris gave a long speech a few years ago on how Africans and Indians should keep their birth rates down to save the world. Then he went on to have more children than he could keep track of.

Sorry if that reads nasty. Us former colonial subjects don't appreciate being blamed for the state of the world.

LaurieFairyCake · 09/12/2021 10:50

They're getting fined for decorating their flat

Him and his government broke Covid rules

Even the Daily Mail headline says "now he has AT LEAST seven children"

  • just one day in the life of this shit government
FazedNotPhased · 09/12/2021 10:50

A few papers reporting Johnson to be a father to 'at least' 7. I mean the state of the whole fucking thing.

FazedNotPhased · 09/12/2021 10:50

Haha X post!

Wondering1000 · 09/12/2021 10:51

@ShirleyPhallus is it naive to think they haven't planned the birth of a child around whatever forgettable scandal they're onto currently - which most of the public don't give a shot about?

I'd go the opposite way and say it's a bit divorced from the reality of this government to see them as coldly meticulous and calculating as that
