British Prime Minister Boris Johnson became a father again at the age of 57!
His wife Carrie (33) gave birth to a daughter in a London clinic that morning, a government spokeswoman said. “Mother and daughter are fine”.
For Boris Johnson it is already the seventh child and the third marriage. Johnson has four children with his second wife, lawyer Marina Wheeler (married in 1993, divorced in 2018). There is also a daughter from an extramarital affair with the art expert Helen Macintryre, which the head of government only made public in September after years of speculation.
For Carrie, it is the second child she has with the UK Prime Minister. In April 2020 she gave birth to little Wilfred. The media advisor and the head of government only got married in May.
Downing Street Christmas party scandal
Politically, things are not going so well for Johnson at the moment. In December 2020, when Britain was in a tough lockdown, its employees reportedly threw a Christmas party at 10 Downing Street. They are said to have celebrated when hundreds died and millions were not allowed to see their loved ones – and days later they joked in front of the camera about the blatant breach of the rules:
The explosive video from Downing Street is now putting the UK Prime Minister under considerable pressure. It says in the room that Johnson, who did not attend the party, lied about the event.
A few days ago the newspaper “Daily Mirror” reported that 40 to 50 employees celebrated closely on December 18, 2020 over wine and appetizers in the government seat that it had been weighted. The problem: Back then, there were strict contact restrictions, parties and gatherings were forbidden!
The process was confirmed by several media outlets. The government did not deny the event, but has since emphasized that no corona rules had been violated. Johnson also stood in front of his employees.
But now the broadcaster ITV has published the video, which was recorded a few days later, on December 22, 2020, in Downing Street. In the lead role: Johnson’s then spokeswoman Allegra Stratton, who is rehearsing for a press conference. An employee jokingly asks Stratton after a party on Downing Street, and those present joke about “wine and cheese”. “This fictional party was a business meeting and there were no social distance rules,” Stratton replied with a laugh.
The echo is devastating! Not only the opposition is outraged, the parliamentary group leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Ian Blackford, is already calling for Johnson’s resignation. ITV presenter Tom Bradby to his audience of millions: “You are laughing at us. You, me, all of us. “
