Does anyone know how many children Boris has ?           I don't think that he even knows the number of children he has fathered.

?..and if the recent falls from grace were not enough, I?ve just seen the BBC website news item about Andrea Jenkyns, new education minister who was photographed ?giving the finger? to those gathered outside Downing Street just prior to the Boris? resignation speech. There?s an example to set!

Boris has 7 children which we know about. He had 4 by his ex wife, Marina Wheeler, 2 by Carrie, and an illegitimate child by Helen McIntyre. We can speculate as to how many others there may be given his promiscuous nature.

His first marriage was to Allegra Mostyn-Owen. They met at Oxford and married in 1987. The marriage was annulled in 1993. There were said to be no children.

Second marriage to Marina Wheeler was in 1993, divorced in 2018 or thereabouts. There were four children: Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches and Theodore Apollo.

He had a relationship with Helen MacIntyre, a journalist, and she had a daughter, Stephanie, with him. She was born in 2009.

He married Carrie in 2021 and has two children with her, Wilfred and Romy.

Articles printed in Private Eye suggest there may be many, many, more children.

There was another article in the Daily Mirror yesterday about Boris and that he abused his power to have a sexual relationship with a young woman in 2008    He was Lord Mayor of London at the time
He even tried to get her a job in City Hall but that was blocked by someone who was aware of his inappropriate relationship with the woman
At the time in 2008 he was married to Marina Wheeler.

Ex-foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt confirmed as Chancellor after shock Kwasi Kwarteng sacking
Mr Kwarteng had flown back from Washington early today and was driven to 10 Downing Street to meet with Liz Truss

I wonder who will be the next PM after this farce?

All that fuss about Boris's indiscretions pale into insignificance compared to the last few weeks.

What are the odds on Boris being PM again? !!

I wouldn't put my money on Boris. It would be on Rishi Sunak, or Ben Wallace. I cannot fathom how they can have the arrogance to decide on yet another one of their mediocre candidates and not call for a general election. Then they are aware they would lose if it went to the country. There should be some legislation to cover these eventualities, ie when one PM is deposed without a general election having taken place. It is unlawful to appoint another one on the basis of the votes of a tiny number of people, then to have the incomer deciding to allow the loony right wing think tanks to run the country. No doubt the Tory donors and supporters will have done nicely out of the pound being shorted. I would like to know how much money they have made at our expense.

Just another day at the office!     The Home Secretary was sacked and then the Tory Chief Whip resigned but then unresigned.     What a fine mess Liz has got us in to, you couldn't make this farce up

Just 44 days and the PM has resigned, perhaps it is time for a General Election?

That will be like turkeys voting for Xmas, Hugo.

Btw, I knew 44 days rang a bell somewhere in our distant past.

Clough replaced Allan Brown as manager of Nottingham Forest on 6 January 1975, just over sixteen weeks after the end of his 44-day tenure as manager of Leeds United.
