Boris and Carrie Johnson announce birth of baby daughter
CNNLondon CNN — UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson have announced the birth of a “healthy baby girl,” according to the UK’s Press Association. Wiktor Szymanowicz/Barcroft/Getty Images Opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer tweeted his congratulations to the Johnsons, adding: “Wishing your family health and happiness.” A Downing Street spokesman told PA that Johnson would “take some time with his family” but had to “balance that with his responsibilities as Prime Minister in leading the country, which he will continue to do.” Johnson finally admitted in an interview in September that he had six children, one of them his son with Carrie, having previously dodged the question in numerous interviews and press conferences. Johnson told NBC it was “fantastic” having a baby in 10 Downing Street, but that it was also “a lot of work.” “But I absolutely love it,” he added. The Commission’s investigation was launched in April following reports in British media that Boris Johnson had spent $280,000 on refurbishing his flat at Downing Street, leading to questions over how he paid for the upgrade.
