Is the new PM, still married ...

Does Jeremy Hunt cheat on his wife or have a loose grip on the number of children he has?

If not then there’s no reason to be surprised.

There are times in that case I'm very pleased it does.

your mind does work in very mysterious ways, Pogs.

Blimey

I'm surprised reading this thread Jeremy Hunt wasn't accused of being in cahoots with the Chinese Government because his wife is Chinese and they had the temerity to sleep together.

How did you guess Jane? So perspicacious of you indeed.

Callis 'Would being married make pillow talk acceptable?'

sorry, a bit late to reply. But yes, I think it does - or at least a long term, stable relationship. There is so much acrimony and bitterness from his previous wives and 'partners' - and his kids too- and that makes for an explosive mix when things go wrong, as it is fairly clear from past history that it will.

I did have some concerns re pillow talk with Phillip May- as he works for companies that make millions in financial markets - and he would have been aware in advance of future decisions that would be made my Mrs May- that could have given him, and his colleagues perhpaps - advance warnings of stock exchange values and currency, etc. But I could not have envisaged the two splitting up in a very bitter way that would give him the chance to divulge personal or State secrets. And she is very involved in politics for a very long time, and a journalist to boot. So, a dangerous mix, I think.

Goodness jura anyone would think that you're not too keen on Boris or Brexit! ?

Have seen him 'join the fun' playing rugby with young kids? Dangerous for sure - just like his current bulldozing tactics and team.

....and then the family arguments would start over whose turn it is to have Uncle Boris for Christmas and your nieces would refuse to be left alone with him...

Boris might liven up dull family events? Imagine him having a go at barbecuing? Joining the fun at little children's parties? Visiting an old gran in a nursing home? I reckon he could be quite fun. For a while...

lemongrove, you say if your daughter loved him, it wouldn't matter if he was LibDem, Tory or Labour. One of my sons in law votes Conservative. He's the only family member to do this but we love him anyway. I asked him his views on the leadership election a couple of weeks ago, his head went into his hands, he groaned and spent some time analysing why Jeremy Hunt was the least worst option.

Dd & I began watching Gentleman Jack last night (yes, yes, I know we're a bit late to the party!) and I was telling her about Boston marriages, when two women lived together, though not necessarily in a sexual relationship.

She commented 'Seems sensible, to me!'

The 'look' would have been marginally less scathing possibly, but I was thinking as in very, very old (it was a joke)

Yes Iam.....I went through a whole lilypond of frogs.?

You should have suggested a young millionaire *Callistemon ( and handsome.)?

Being a Tory or LP or Lib Dem politician wouldn’t affect how I would feel though ( if DD loved someone.)

lemon
I did once jokingly suggest to one DD that she should find an old millionaire to marry.
Scathing doesn't even begin to describe the look and reply I got! Even when I said it was a joke!!

Indeed, plus sadly there are quite a few men, of whom we could ask 'what do women see in him'? That old base line of having to kiss a lot of frogs before we find a Prince didn't just appear out of no where. Still, onwards and upwards, I'm caught up in the need to be positive otherwise I'll feel we're all doomed.

Ah! I was thinking more of a scenario where he hadn’t been married before etc.and your DD brought him home.

Mind you, there are quite a few politicians that fit the bill of
The question ‘what do women see in him’?!

lemongrove, no I wouldn't! I'd be struggling not to say 'please no, anyone but him, he's a serial sh****r, a liar, has 4 or 6 children maybe more, he's selfish, narcissistic and a bliddy tory"

To her, that is!

Would you say Iam ...’ what first attracted you to the millionaire Boris?’

I can't help but face how I'd feel if one of my 30 something daughters brought Boris Johnson home as her potential life long companion. I wouldn't be thrilled, would anyone?

Just googled him - Lordy! <fans self>
