Boris can't afford a nanny

Really? They won’t have put his name down for Eton then. Ordinary state school for Wilfred.

Doris will have to manage like everyone else does !
At last it's hitting home that it's a tough world out there and a sharp bump down to earth to those who were getting money for old rope. It goes for all the high-earners. I've got no sympathy.

I can believe he is finding it hard - I can't, and nor can the millions of families struggling on benefits or low-paid jobs.

I'll never criticise the salary we pay to politicians in this country, it doesn't seem too much for the responsibility they have.

But surely nobody thinks Johnson's only source of income is his PM salary?

It isn’t a huge salary For a man in his position and much less than he was earning before. I can believe he’s finding it hard.

He wanted the job and knowing his inability to do any research or read around a subject I guess he hadn’t a clue what the wages were.

What do we do when our children are struggling financially? We offer practical help. Don’t the Johnson children have grandparents who can help out? They surely won’t want that wee baby to grow up disadvantaged because his parents can’t afford a nanny. It has come to a pretty pass when the PM is letting it be known that he is short of cash.

Even the Welsh FM earns more than BJ which doesn't seem right. I dreamt last night that he paid my train fare for me to go up daily to mind baby. Bizarre.

No matter what you think of the PM himself and the way he handles things, £150k isn't a huge salary for a job that carries so much responsibility - especially when you consider what footballers earn.

Why on earth would he be financially supporting the four adult children from his second marriage? Why can’t Carrie pay half for the nanny? Who cares anyway?

No one except he’s made a meal of it.

What about the local nursery as all other families do? Then fill in around the gaps.

That would cost far more in security detail.

And if the child was at school?

Oh dear Fanny I read that one wrong your sentence about Carrie and Cummings, I thought you wrote “I wonder if they get it on”

The man is not worth talking about he obviously keeps his brain between his legs it certainly isn’t on the work he’s paid to do

He DOES have a lot of child support to pay.

What happens when you spread your seed promiscuously far and wide AND have a publically traceable address for claimants to send the bills to.

Pithy and to the point WWM.

Anyone who can’t live rent free on £150k a year is an idiot.

I'm not surprised he can't afford one. At £50k a year plus all sorts of expenses you'd need to be earning around 3 times his salary.

Funnily enough, I woke up mere minute ago, thinking about Johnson and Carrie (I started typing Boris, and then deleted it as I don't want to be on first name terms).
I'm really intrigued about Carrie and Cummins relationship.
I wonder if they get on?
And then I started to wonder if maybe she was bait or something?
(I know that sounds weird, I can't think of the right expression.)
It seems that Johnson's days as PM may be limited.
He does look a very ill man. He currently looks older than his father.

Or why not resign, look after the baby and dog while writing his lucrative articles for the Telegraph. Then Carrie could get another highly paid advisory job and everyone is happy.

I presume Carrie is on maternity leave from whatever job she had so why do they need a nanny? Maybe he could make her head of some important government initiative and they’d have 2 big salaries.

did anyone mention, these are unprecedented times...
