    This isn't going to bring Johnson down. Not in the short term anyway.

    Baby news hasn't stop the headlines about Johnson being a liar.

    Boris Johnson was accused of misleading his own ethics adviser last night, exposing the prime minister to a potential suspension from the House of Commons, as MPs demanded a fresh probe into his personal donors.

    With pressure mounting after a disastrous series of mistakes and scandals, Johnson’s integrity was once again under the spotlight after an official report suggested he gave differing accounts to investigators looking into the redecoration of his Downing Street flat.

    To be fair a baby is suppose to look like their dad when they are born. It is apparently evolutions way of stopping fathers rejecting their new born off-spring. (According to people into that tulip.)

    Bring back the old days when power was inherited and make the baby PM. Couldn't be much worse.

    And it's not exactly become the headline story anyway.
    I thought I read somewhere that the latest Johnson contribution to overpopulation was 6 weeks early.

    I suspect he can't cope with the stress of being a prospective parent and running the country unlike Bliar and Camoron.
