His son, Toren Mustaqim, was born in July 2014; a daughter Orla Dhien was born in 2017.
Speaking after the birth of his fifth child he said: “It used to be the tradition of Irish Catholic immigrants to have six children, so I'm not stopping here.
“As long as God gives me breath - and energy - there will be more. It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
“There's nothing that keeps you young like your children climbing over your face in the morning to wake you up. It's life-enhancing.”
Another daughter Oban Amaria was born in August 2020.
SONG
I've just come down
From Dundee to try
Politics and I'm awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Georgie, where's your troosers?
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Galloway’s got no troosers
Putri took me to a ball
And it was slippery in Rockford hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I had nae on my troosers
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
I slipped in the hall and although
All the lassies said Hello!
I won 9000 extra voters
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
Sunak turned his head around
Saying, Georgie where’s your trousers?
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
Sunak can kiss my arse
Underneath my kilt NO?
To wear the kilt is my delight
It’s not wrong I know it's right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in the trousers
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
There’s a tilt in me kilt, don’t you know
Galloway wears no troosers?
The lassies want me every one
Well, let them catch me if they can
You canna take the brakes
Off a Highland man
and Britain’s Workers Party
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Georgie, where's your troosers?
Georgie, where's your troosers?
Galloway, where's yer troosers….....

Really enjoyed that.
A spirited song for a spirited man, long may he be a thorn in the Parliament's side. When someone can send Sunak into a panic to make him take to a podium and speak to the nation, he's doing something right. 😄
