Keir Starmer has been criticised by the Tories over his recent statement that he tries not to "do a work-related thing after 6 o’clock", and he would "try to keep to it" if Labour took power after the General Election.
Labour leader Sir Keir said that the row over his plans to ring-fence time after 6pm for his wife and children was "hysterical".
Tom Swarbrick argues the saga is 'just so desperate' and draws upon previous Tory PMs such as David Cameron and Theresa May, who blocked out time in their diaries for date nights, church, and the gym.

Ah, but Putin would also be asleep, so is hardly likely to be planning to attack then. Trust me, at one minute past six, as soon as the kettle is switched on at the Starmer household, Putin will be ready to push the big red button. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Russian operatives haven’t already snuck into number 10 and connected up the kettle switch to automatically activate the big red button in anticipation of a Labour victory. I’ve seen it happen before.

I kind of feel sorry for her because she clearly thinks this is a nonsense attack line that she's being forced to push by CCHQ. you can see her struggling to come up with ways to make it sound bad, and regularly agreeing with very reasonable explanations of why it's a fine thing to say
