So Carrie is the reason Boris is not a great Prime Minster?

Did anyone really think he would be?

He can’t even get his hair in order let alone a country.

Not that I’m a fan of hers but come on, he’s got his own mind (and being governed by your dick is still a conscious choice as an adult man).

Ah thank you @StrychnineIntheSandwiches
I was wondering was it Melania, Meghan or Brigitte or none of them Smile

@Combustablecustard

Genuinely cant see how anyone from Team Boris thinks this is a defence. Either its nit true and hes this shite all by himself or it is true and hes that easily controlled by someone else and cant make his mind up by himself in which case he shouldn't have the responsibility of doing the weekly shop let alone running the country.
Is anyone from "Team Boris" using it as a defence?

No, this is an attempt to get him out by demonstrating how weak he is. No one wants a henpecked Prime Minister.

@LadyEloise1 Yup I was referring to Meghan.

Two self centred idiots- very well matched

Also think it’s telling that his adult children have nothing to do with him and didn’t attend his wedding.

I have a theory that Johnson has a super injunction on his kids. You never hear from them and I bet the press would pay big money for their stories. And his exwives.

@Ipadflowers

I think if someone was slagging off a womens hair or appearance there would be an outcry, wtf does it matter what he looks like or what hair style he has? How very shallow indeed.

And if it was reported a woman in a position of power had a controlling partner the responses would be very different.

I doubt the attacks on Carrie are correct, at least not wholly, I do believe she meddles though and likely to a heavy extent.

Yeah, MN does spin things well on the other foot. 'an Abusive relationship', 'a controlling partner' would be described. Instead Boris is blamed for letting her walk all over him.

However, he's the PM, not the unelected Carrie. It's his responsibility to run the country.

I have just looked up his kids on google images and one of his sons is his absolute clone. Impossible to distance yourself from your pa when you look like that. I wonder how many times a day someone says to him 'has anyone ever told you that you look like...'

The children from his marriage are adults and are free to speak. I doubt very much doubt their mother, his second wife who he dumped his first wife for, signed a gagging order because she is a lawyer and a clever person of independent means no matter the divorce settlement. She is also free to speak.

They just don't want to. It's sad because I love a bit of mud-slinging.

Given that he was already married to somebody else and is not financially dependent on Carrie, I think it’s a stretch to claim that she is abusively controlling him.

Given past performance, it seems fairly likely that he would have been happy to stay with his second wife if she hadn’t shown him the door.

She needs to butt out of his job, stop turning up to every garden party, meeting. Imagine your DP sitting next to you and commenting on every email you send!
