Winchester MP Steve Brine becomes a father for the second time

By Jonathan Isaby

Many congratulations to Winchester MP Steve Brine and his wife Susie on the birth of their second child, William, a brother for Emily.

The newborn has already even got a mention in Hansard, since his father broke off his paternity leave last Friday in order to vote for Rebecca Harris's Daylight Saving Bill, for which she singled him out for thanks during her speech.

The proud father later intervened in her speech to remark:

"I thank my hon. Friend for her earlier congratulations. She knows that I support the Bill, and I am sure that baby William does as well, although I have no idea why, because daylight hours seem to mean little to him. I am still standing, however."

Florence Rose Endellion Cameron

By Paul Goodman

Yes, that's the full name of David and Samantha Cameron's new daughter.  I don't think that any of our readers suggested Endellion here.

It is, of course, the Cornish name that the Prime Minister promised after the child was born.  It's apparently that of a village near where the family was holidaying when Mrs Cameron was dashed to hospital, which itself is named after a Cornish saint called Endelienta.

And here she is on the right - one of the daughters of King Brychan of Brycheiniog in Wales, who evangelised North Cornwall.

Many congratulations again to the Camerons.

Congratulations to Jacob Rees-Mogg on the birth of a son

It has been a momentous week for Jacob Rees-Mogg, the newly elected Conservative MP for Somerset North East.

On Monday night he delivered his maiden speech, watched from the public gallery by his wife, Helena. Less than 24 hours later she was giving birth to the couple's third child, a son, who is to be named Thomas Wentworth after the 1st Earl of Strafford who is one of Helena's ancestors..

Mother and son are doing well - many congratulations to Jacob and Helena.
