Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, has stated that if he becomes Prime Minister, he intends to not work past 6pm on Fridays to spend time with his family. This statement has been met with criticism from the Conservative Party, who argue that the country needs a full-time Prime Minister. Starmer clarified that he has been following this practice for years and that he only intends to ringfence Friday evenings, acknowledging that this time might occasionally be disturbed. He also emphasized the importance of this time due to his family's Jewish faith.

Keir Starmer has said he'd clock off work at 6pm if he became Prime Minister. You deserve better than a part-time Prime Minister. The only way to prevent this is to vote Conservative on Thursday. https://t.co/yF0ZBAttRh
