Is there anything Rory Stewart can’t do?

Having walked across Afghanistan, governed a province of Iraq and written award winning books about his adventures, now Rory Stewart has delivered his own son:

‘Penrith and the Border MP Rory Stewart has announced the birth of his first son – which he ended up delivering himself on the bathroom floor. Alexander Wolf Stewart was born at 5.30am last Wednesday.

A press statement said he arrived so quickly that Mr Stewart had to deliver him before a midwife could arrive. It added: ‘The birth went very well and the baby and his mother, Shoshana, are very well. We are so so immensely happy and proud. It is such a happy day.’

What does the ambitious Tory do for an encore?
