...but not in government matters he’s sired an offspring

So, they're engaged, but he isn't actually divorced yet is he??

Absolutely heartrending to see the happy couple alongside a photograph of Nazanin Ratcliffe with a report that she may have contracted the covid-19 virus in prison. Her husband reports that the prison authorities have refused to test her although the virus is in the prison. Boris should think of her sometimes and reflect on his role in her continued imprisonment. However, he's moved on and now he has a new baby on the way and I imagine he gives little thought to that sad family.

I do hope that Carrie hasn't made the mistake of thinking she will change him. He won't do that to me, etc. I really wish her well.

Just shows he can’t be trusted with a withdrawal agreement.

vegansrock ha ha .... clever post grin

Awesome post * vegansrock* grin

Ginny42; I can't begin to imagine what Nazanin's husband must be thinking and feeling at this moment in time. Maybe, just maybe it might make the Iranian's relent in some way and let her come home. I don't know how Johnson can sleep at night after what he has done to this poor woman and her family.

Having a baby with a father who has abandoned multiple other children is clearly not a good idea. He's a serial adulterer too.

Aw, it's lovely to see the Tory ladies being so socially liberal - no accusations of feckless father of 5 or 6, to 3 or 4 women, old enough to be her father, over-population, never seen one his children, etc.

I wish Carrie and baby well, as I would any expectant mother but the sheer hypocrisy of the right is gallling e.g. The Sunday Telegraph's front page spin 'Number 10 wedding - baby on the way'.

Maybe she loves him?
Maybe he’s great to be around?

Plenty of men with money & fame have multiple relationships ( & children ) look at Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, & countless others.
I think some women are secretly envious, because they know for all Boris’s faults, he wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.
Carrie is young & very attractive.

Boris’ divorce was finalised a couple of weeks ago. It was reported that Marina got a £4 million settlement. I think she signed an NDA too.

BlueBelle Sun 01-Mar-20 08:00:34

Oh my word Secretively envious! that’s making me splutter into my coffee you really are a joker kandinsky I can’t think of anybody less attractive as a partner, he lands alongside the ‘dashing’ Rees Mogg, Farage and Trump cor! the temptation

I find both their outward appearance, which poor souls they can do nothing about but more importantly their very nasty (polite word) personalities a very big turn off
I hope Carrie knows what she’s doing and has a hard shell when another ‘bit on the side’ comes to light

I think it’s a bit telling that it seems as if none of his other children have much if anything to do with him
I wonder what you would say if it was Joe Soap on benefits having multiple partners and babies !

GagaJo Sun 01-Mar-20 08:07:01

Secretly envious? Talk about a groupie Kandinsky. Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?

Calendargirl Sun 01-Mar-20 08:07:48

Yes, that’s true Kandinsky,about other famous men having multiple partners and children.
If I remember rightly, both Mick and Rod fathered babies that they didn’t acknowledge for years, although that changed I think as time went by.
Now they are just viewed as grand old statesmen and family men.

GagaJo Sun 01-Mar-20 08:08:47

Exactly BlueBelle. Only a deadbeat dad when you abandon your children if you're working class, obviously.

Juliet27 Sun 01-Mar-20 08:28:33

Apparently ‘Ms Symonds has a passion for conservation and uses her Twitter account to share news about animal cruelty and plastic waste.’ Well that’s a plus.

vegansrock Sun 01-Mar-20 08:39:32

Let’s hope she doesn’t touch her bump too much or some on here will accuse her of drawing attention to herself.

Moocow Sun 01-Mar-20 08:41:13

kaddinsky is that you Boris! Sorry couldn't resist grin

Greymar Sun 01-Mar-20 08:44:49

Hilarious comments. Annie, love how you managed to weave Corbyn into the conversation. As for being envious, that's just so funny. My partner may not be George Clooney but he is a hard working person with integrity, so no, I'm not jealous of Carrie.

Anniebach Sun 01-Mar-20 08:53:58

Corbyn is the only politician I know of who has been married
three times and the third wife much younger.

GagaJo Sun 01-Mar-20 08:56:52

Corbyn is irrelevant Annie. On the way out. And I speak as a leftie.

Stay relevant!

Ginny42 Sun 01-Mar-20 08:59:46

If he wasn't PM in the spotlight there may have been a different ending to this romance. She will have the best possible health care and I hope her pregnancy goes well with a healthy baby. Who would wish them harm? I only hope he means his promises this time.

Anniebach Sun 01-Mar-20 09:00:52

Yes you speak as a Corbyn fan GagaJo , I speak of two
politicians who have something in common .

Curlywhirly Sun 01-Mar-20 09:13:00

Good grief Kandinsky - secretly envious of Carrie having Boris as a partner! I don't envy her one bit - with his romantic track record, I would be surprised if she ever knows a moment's peace. I know I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him!

Greymar Sun 01-Mar-20 09:36:23

Corbyn, older than partner and politician. BJ older than partner and politician. Wow, amazing link.

Barmeyoldbat Sun 01-Mar-20 09:44:02

If Boris was living on a Council Estate and fathering children everywhere he would be labelled freckless, a dead beat etc. But no there are people who think it is wonderful. Shows how money can impress.
