Ministers and friends of Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds congratulated the couple after they revealed that they were expecting a baby.

Among the first to post their felicitations on Twitter was former Chancellor Sajid Javid, who quit his role earlier this month following a dispute with Mr Johnson, who offered “Congratulations” on the “wonderful news”.

Former leader of the Scottish Conservatives Ruth Davidson also offered her congratulations while pregnant Tory MP  Siobhan Baillie welcomed Ms Symonds to “the magical bump gang”.

We wish the couple luck with the pregnancy.

Some Twitter users had some comments to make on the matter and the timing of the announcement.

Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his 4th, 8th or 17th child.

And a way to trump that story is a Boris baby. Busy evening for Sunday newspaper editors. https://t.co/fIy0kiOvm0

Boris Johnson's new baby will be so lucky.
Mainly because, unlike us, it'll never see him

It would be awful if my little domestic announcement yesterday happened to wipe the #CoronaVirus crisis and the Priti Patel story off all the front pages of the Sunday papers. pic.twitter.com/fqw1jJjFRp

I am sure just a total coincidence but certainly convenient that the home office perm sec’s angry divorce from government is now fighting with the PM’s marriage and imminent baby for front page coverage

— Robert Peston (@Peston) February 29, 2020

The announcement that Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds are expecting a baby means that will take the PM's total number of children to…

…err…Fuck knows? #borisbaby

Just imagine the headlines if Jeremy Corbyn had brought his mistress into Number 10, impregnated her and announced their engagement, all before divorcing his wife (who was recovering from the cancer she had when he left her).

Feeling a little glum about Liverpool finally losing. Thank God Boris Johnson is having a baby. That’s really cheered me up.

— Chris Hewitt (@ChrisHewitt) February 29, 2020

Funny, I don't remember you being particularly kind to Meghan Markle when she was having her first baby. In fact, I remember you being a nasty, spiteful and vindictive bully. #borisbaby https://t.co/0yXHnhMNte

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
