http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8580571.stmHow many others think that this is partly an election gimmick? Also what are the odds that maternity benefits will improve now that his wife is pregnant? Or am I just cynical?

What makes you think that this is partly an election gimmick?

They lost a child last year so maybe they wanted a new baby at some point. Though when a politician is involved can you not suspect that they have other motives? To appeal to a certain demographic, working mums this time?

If my husband came to me and said I think I'd give him a swift kick where the monkey hid the nuts.

No your not cynical your ridiculous. Whilst as long as they two individuals are healthy there's a high likely hood of a child its not something you can schedule in.

I was watching the BBC News last night on BBC1 and they thought it had electioneering undertones about it. Though I expect its announcement before the announcing of the date of the election was also probably to avoid such speculation.

The pregnancy may not be a gimmick, but I do wonder how long before it becomes one. The new Labour Party Slogan: Dave’s f*cked his wife. Don’t let him f*ck the country.
