"They need to be careful though or people might think it's a deliberate PR stunt to divert attention from Boris Johnson's incompetence," one online user has said.

Online users have reacted to the news that Boris Johnson has married Carrie Symonds in a secret ceremony.

The wedding comes at the end of a difficult week for Johnson, in which his former aide Dominic Cummings branded him unfit for office.

The pair are said to have exchanged vows in Westminster Cathedral in front of a small group of close friends and family.

Johnson exchanging a vow on anything with anyone just makes me laugh. How many of his kids were there? https://t.co/4Z8Y939N9F

They need to be careful though or people might think it's a deliberate PR stunt to divert attention from @BorisJohnson's incompetence which killed tens of thousands of people. #boriswedding https://t.co/dMj8g2UPUZ

Does anyone care? This ethically, morally, and almost certainly financially, corrupt extreme right wing populist has married the woman he started an affair with 2 years ago. So? Will that bring back the thousands of deaths he caused? No! Will it solve the #BrexitShambles No! https://t.co/PVhkYX1BhT

What did politicians say?

Downing Street would not comment on the reports, but Tory MPs and ministers sent their congratulations to the couple.

Minister for Children and Families and Chelmsford MP Vicky Ford said: “Many congratulations to Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds and big love to Wilf.

“So many weddings have been delayed and disrupted by Covid. Life is always better with love.”

Cabinet minister Therese Coffey also sent her congratulations to the couple.

But Labour former frontbencher Jon Trickett said the wedding was “a good way to bury this week’s bad news” on Mr Cummings’ testimony, the spread of the Indian coronavirus variant and the row about funding of the Downing Street flat.

Fellow Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi suggested the “emergency marriage plan” was an attempt to “deflect from negative press” from Mr Cummings.
