Yes I know I'm just gossiping, but she didn't seem terribly gruntled last weekend, did she?

Rumours have been circulating for a while. Guess timing an announcement for end of school year takes some of the heat off their dc at least.

Two ghastly people have each discovered that the other is ghastly.

Unfortunately this might mean he has a better chance of becoming pm. It's never sat right with me that a cabinet minister can be married to a tabloid journalist, never mind a pm.

Yeah at least they weren't ruining another couple.
DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat · 02/07/2021 17:29

Well, that’s a shame because, frankly, rarely have I seen two people who deserve each other quite as much as they do.

candycane222 · 02/07/2021 17:29

Oh God, are their kids srill school age? How excruciating Sad

Out of curiosity, what jobs are spouses of politicians permitted to do according to you?

Well, we don't know that yet do we?

Whenever people split they always claim there's "no one else involved".

We'll probably find out in the Sunday Sun.

and of course you are the arbiter of whether that's OK.

No-one in the Tory party will care if he's married to a journo. - they are used to telling lies. Look at Grant Shapps - he's had a string of aliases in order to sell questionable web marketing stuff.
None of them cares about decency or standards of any kind.

That’s very true. 😱
DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat · 02/07/2021 17:33

And yes, the irony of them asking for ‘privacy’. The Daily Mail always respects people’s privacy does it not?

Mumsnut · 02/07/2021 17:33

I wonder if he's going to do a Philip Schofield?

Agree!
SpindleWhorl · 02/07/2021 17:35

'No-one else is involved'. Kind of sad their official statement had to say that. But I suppose Gove needs to allay all those rumours before he takes his shot at ousting Johnson ...

... who knows exactly what those rumours might be.

Maybe Vine wants out while the going's good(ish).

Perhaps she doesn’t fancy Carrie’s wallpaper.

Completely missed the 'a' out of that. Threw up a bit.

Maybe. He's reputedly a "jungle VIP" 🎶🎵
Thehenbunringsock · 02/07/2021 17:43

Why is this an issue?

Not being facetious - genuinely asking.

SpindleWhorl · 02/07/2021 17:47

I dunno really why it's currently among the main headlines of all the leading newspaper websites, eg Telegraph, Guardian, Mail.

I guess because Gove and Vine wanted it to be?

duffmcstockings · 02/07/2021 17:47

Much too old for Phillip Schofield.
