Baby number 3 due in a matter of weeks.

The Mumsnet mums might need to be drunk to sleep with him, but say what you like, various other ladies seem to have had no qualms about doing so.

He must be quite a fecund chap.

Mrsmemo unfortunately he doesn’t seem to have paid much attention to the rest of his previous babies (children) any man
(I was close to writing another word but don’t want to get deleted) can make a baby

Just wondering how you know that. Were you regularly in their home to check if he was reading the bedtime stories or making sure they were brushing their teeth?
I’ve seen a couple of pictures in the news over the last year or two and he looks like quite a hands on parent.
Anyway, a new baby is always good news, so congrats to them all.

Is this news? Why do the media give it such prominence? 2hybus 8tvan issue on GN?

Why is this news on BBC News? Doh!

Why not? It’s news, not an episode of The Simpsons .

Bluebelle in fairness his other children are now adults; we don't know how he was with them - he may well have not paid them much attention, or he may have been a wonderful father. He wasn't in the public eye so much, and he never discusses his family.

Utterly selfish b——-d was I believe the terminology used by one of his daughters.

Boris Johnson can afford a large family - not without taking out big loans he can't. I am sure he can find someone to set one up for him in return for a cushy job.

When he was MP for Henley he looked at renting a house from a relative of ours, and when she rather cheekily ask him how many children he had, and replied that he didn’t know!

I keep seeing headlines that say ‘Carrie Johnson having baby in a few weeks’ and wondering why she has a much shorter gestation than the rest of us.

SueDonim Fri 19-May-23 20:52:03

I thought this was going to be a thread about a Johnson & Johnson’s baby talc and lotion advert. confused I’ll get me coat.

Get people to pay ludicrous amounts of money to listen to your waffling word salads while others pay for your luxury holidays and you can afford any number of unfortunate children.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 19-May-23 19:50:18

How come he can afford so many children, but not afford to pay his legal fees?

MayBee70 Fri 19-May-23 19:48:26

No wonder he’s had to buy a multi million pound property in Oxfordshire. Good job he can get huge amounts for these speeches he gives ( the ones he gives when he should be working in his constituency). And still many voters think he’s ‘one of them’. angry

Whitewavemark2 Fri 19-May-23 19:40:03

I think it is actually baby number at least 9.

That has just ruined my coffee.🤢

For the alternative version, read the thread on Mumsnet. It’s hilarious!

Not on Mumsnet, but had a peep - hilarious responses with many saying they would have to be blind drunk to 'sleep' with him!

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 19-May-23 19:10:08

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s the 9th.

A baby is a gift, the parents are not always as much of a gift though
Baby number 3 I think that’s baby number 6 or is it 7 for Johnson !!

Ninth I think

True.
Maybe this time round he is enjoying spending more time with his latest offspring.

Baggs Fri 19-May-23 18:31:35

I'm looking forward to finding out the names of this new baby.

I read somewhere, may even have been in a previous thread similar to this one, that BJ himself has said he has four children with his ex-wife and another one born in 2009 from an affair, so this will be number eight.

MrsNemo Fri 19-May-23 18:20:05

Good for them. Boris Johnson can afford a large family, and has said that he loves babies and children. Our GP, about thirty years ago, also loved children - he had eleven, and a wonderfully happy family.
