Surely it can’t be that serious if BJ ‘s gf and baby are on hols in Italy??

Don't be harsh, she's just gone to the nearest available test centre

MatildaonaWaltzer · 24/09/2020 12:45

She’s got the bugaboo wheels on backwards - the big ones are at the front. Makes steering very difficult

SheepandCow · 24/09/2020 12:46

Hasn't she already had Covid?

Immunity might not last very long, so perhaps she's also one of the vaccine trial volunteers.

I'm a nurse and had to cancel my longed for holiday to Greece. My boss told me that if the travel corridor was stopped while I was away it would be career suicide.

It pisses me off he's away.

Littleposh · 24/09/2020 12:48

I don't see the issue tbh

flowerycurtain · 24/09/2020 12:49

He can't be that worried about money then can he. M
Very very bad pr. My husband needs a break too. He's worked non stop since Feb. He's currently living in our caravan as the kids are back at school and we are so worried they'll bring it home.

I can’t get too excited about this - many people are travelling to quarantine exempt countries (perfectly legally). And I think if someone that wasn’t Boris’ partner came on here and said they needed a few days getaway with friends for their mental health after a horrific year (hugely publicised argument with insinuations of DV in December, catching Covid whilst pregnant, partner catching Covid and almost dying, becoming a mum and whatever else we don’t know about!) would be told to be careful but enjoy it by many posters.

@5amonSunday
Boris isn't away. Carrie and Wilfred are away but considering she is on maternity leave and he is a matter of months old they are both in the fortunate position where quarantine would be a minor inconvenience rather than a massive headache affecting earnings. Why should the perfectly lawful activities that somebody chooses to participate in be open for criticism just because that person happens to be having sex with the prime minister.

I just always assume that's a stunt baby of some description. It's the amount of hair; it's like a sort of comedy version of what you'd assume BoJo's baby would look like.

LynetteScavo · 24/09/2020 12:55

Is it just me or does the baby look a lot older than 4 months? Wasn't he born early? Confused

Nikori · 24/09/2020 12:58

Rumour has it that she isn't his partner anymore though...

Hes more than 4 months. I had my baby early May and she's nearly 5 months. Carrie had her baby a while before me, at least a few weeks
Sacados · 24/09/2020 12:59

Really huge baby? Loads of hair?

Are people really sure she hasn't just squished Boris into a carrier as a disguise so that they can go on a secret holiday together?

Mrsjayy · 24/09/2020 13:00

Ah yes she was sadly papped in Scotland her "camping" trip of 3 days in ruins she deserves her holiday poor lamb Hmm nobody should care why she is in holiday lots of people think they are "entitled " to a holiday why should she be any different.

Cornettoninja · 24/09/2020 13:02

@Nikori

That would make sense with his recent cries of poverty...

I don’t think so though, I think they’ll at least keep up the facade till his premiership is over. It’s noticeable there was no planned wedding though, you’d think they would have prioritised making it official even without all the bells and whistles.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 24/09/2020 13:03

Is this connected with the Italian paper's report that Boris nipped over to Perugia with C and W so that W could be christened over there? That's all I know about that, just based on seeing a few tweets. All most odd.

Yetiyoga · 24/09/2020 13:04

@Jrobhatch29 it was announced 29th April.

The going away is fine. The social distancing which we are being told to do, she isn't. It makes a mockery.

Jrobhatch29 · 24/09/2020 13:06

[quote Yetiyoga]@Jrobhatch29 it was announced 29th April.[/quote]
Ah I thought it was earlier than that. So he's 5 months. I remember being fuming that I was overdue and so uncomfortable and she had her baby early ha

neveradullmoment99 · 24/09/2020 13:14

She is entitled to a holiday but really at this moment in time, its a disgrace!

crunchtimes · 24/09/2020 13:15

I thought Carrie & BJ had split up and he was shagging someone else now?

There was a lot of debate whether she was photoshopped into that picture! Not sure they are still together!
ChristmasCarcass · 24/09/2020 13:17

God, somebody send her to a sling workshop. The angle of that child’s head! And he needs to be about six inches higher up her torso, just under her chin.

Iwantacookie · 24/09/2020 13:18

I thought they were poor? Unless she walked/swam there.
If the government hasnt put it on the list of no no areas then it's just a woman on holiday with her child.
However I do think it's a bit of bad taste for her given who she is to go.
I think people going abroad are mad anyway during covid but it's up to them.

Mrsjayy · 24/09/2020 13:20

Nobody is entitled to a holiday really are they holidays are a lovely privilege I think people are expecting Carrie to give a stuff and shocked she isn't bothered.
