- 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.

The Tories simply don't understand that you can have children at home on Friday nights. They simply ship them off to boarding school from 5 years old. They simply can't comprehend that a father might want to see his kids.
quite time-consuming to travel to multiple addresses, and exhausting on a friday night, with little time to spare.
@yobgol
For Tory MPs, Friday nights are for meeting the mistress in the parliamentary expenses paid flat we don't mention- or alternatively Carlos and Eduardo in the constituency....
Worked for Mogg. lol
@@yobgol You must be talking about Johnson! 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve gone from disliking the Tories to absolutely loathing and despising them.
The Tories partied during Lockdown
YOUR FORGETTING STARMERS LIES ABOUT BEERGATE AND CURRY IN DURHAM. GET IT RIGHT.!!!!!!!
That wasn't lies. The police investigated and found he hadn't broken any rules.

How many Tory Parties? Remind me?
Who got the fines? Remind me?
@@jamesgriffithsmusic STARMER SAID THE POLICE DID NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM.???

Boris Johnson missed 6 COBRA meetings whilst PM at the start of the pandemic as he was trying to finish his book on Churchill.
Let that sink in.
Didn't Raab refuse to end his holiday during the Afghanistan crisis, and Boris miss the London riots while mayor for a similar readon?
Correct on both counts@@TheKompromissi
so the tories have gone full refuk , not only anti-Muslim but now anti-Jewish and anti family
Anti brain activity.
@@coppershark1973 lol
They are anti-everything that does fill their pockets.
im voting labour.
im voting reform, because i have a wife and two daughters to think of
@@markryan3498 I'm voting Labour. Because Reform are idiots.
@@markryan3498 What are you thinking of? That your wife and two daughters will be safe under the leadership of a man who extols Andrew Tate and has recently lost one of his Reform candidates because she felt that the party was full of misogynists? Wow, you must really hate the women in your family.
@markryan3498 did you know labour are raising your kids standard of living. when they hit 16 they will get the full minimum wage that 21+ get. worth a vote for labour!
@@shaun906 and let 16 year old vote. let them have a say in gov
It's a bizarre attack from the supposed party of family values. "How dare you say you will spend time with your children when you can". The antisemitic undertones make it even worse.
not sure if this is lower than the whole condemn Reform racism in one hand and accepting/defending Mr Hester's money.
It's almost like they simply jump from scandal to scandal to try to make you forget how bad the last one was!
Where’s the antisemitic undertones prat!
@@lynnevenables7193 starmers wife is Jewish and Friday nights are the start of Shabbat.
@lynnevenables7193 what a delightful way to phrase a question
@@lynnevenables7193 Shabbat? If Corbyn had said this about Paul Goodman he’d have been branded as the Zombie Goebbels ffs 🤣
Absolute twaddle from Anne- Marie Trevelyan trying to defend a position she knows is hypocritical and ridiculous. They are desperate.
That was hilarious to listen to her tie herself in knots, contradicting herself repeatedly. Embarrassing af!
She'll be looking for a new job come July 5 anyway
Dominic Raab staying on holiday whilst Afghanistan collapsed??
Was he the one that said 'the sea was closed'? 🤨
Tbf he had no role in that. It was all the Americans
Johnson could go on holiday once a month for 2 weeks, but Starmer cannot finish at 6 on a Friday - after 10 hours of work?
Luckily, Ms Caulfield is going to lose her seat. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Didn't even say that he'd finish work for the night, just that he'd stop for dinner!
Excellent
Starmer never said that he was going to finish at 6 on a Friday where did you get that from?
Tory gutter press ?@@alanpage3973
Couldn't they just go down with a fraction of dignity? Nope, guess not.
Wasn't Boris holding illegal parties on friday afternoons?
Only on Fridays that he was actually working.
Boris was doing other things too, that’s why he got the sack!
Yeah he was still at work though.
@@Drew.P.Todgerwhilst quaffing Wine and Champagne 🤔🤔🤔
Tell Ferrari he aided and abetted it
Yup he is a vile Tory shill.
He certainly did. I hope he has reflected on it and realised how foolish it was to attack Starmer for it.
He's just awful 😖
"This is the lowest point"
Tories: "Hold my beer"
It's extremely hypocritical for the Conservatives to spout this, yet their most ardent supporters will still lap it up and parrot it.
They don't have many ardent supporters left over. Most, I hear, are going to Reform.
@@thomasandrewcliffordNo
@@Noel-ji8nm I mean, yes, if you're looking at opinion polls but by all means add to the conversation with a single declarative word 🤣
Discourse is dead
The Tories employ nannies to spend quality time with their sprogs for them.
Antisemitism from the Tories. A new low.
That's a stretch
That's incorrect. it's not new at all.
And this one is not even arguable. Some remarks can be construed as antisemitic by people who equate antizionism/anti Israel with antisemitism, but this one is not one of these: it is a clear case of antisemitism..
@@dh1380 Not by any means. They're just saying the quiet part out aloud.
At least he won't be p1ssed by 6pm and won't do Wine Time Friday
What a surprise - the rich Tory business owners attacking a working man for wanting to finish at 6pm on a Friday to be with his family.
Double standards by the Conservatives the rules are for thee but not for me.
Honestly they just done Labour a huge favour putting Kier into a context that working people will sympathize with.
@@thomasandrewcliffordKeir Stasi.
“Everyone sees this for what it is…”
Nick Ferrari “Hold my beer son!”
Nick Ferrari is an active part of the Tory campaign. He spouts every talking point they come with up with verbatim.
Why are they so morally spineless? This is a non-issue. These tories are hypocrites.
From the people that brought us Partygate. It baffles the mind.
meanwhile boris took 2 weeks off to write a book when covid was about to hit. and i bet he barely worked 4 hours a day anyway
This stinks of absolute desperation on the part of the Tories ...
With his past career it is difficult to imagine that he would not give his best to serve the country. Kier Starmer has already got my postal vote and I have no regrets.
And mine
I want my politicians to be real people. Anyone who says that if they were prime minister would not take any breaks is a liar, and I don’t want a liar as my MP.
Well you’ve had three since 2019 🤷♂️
Hang on, Dominic Raab (foreign secretary) was on holiday in Crete while the Afghan government collapsed, and delegated tasks to junior ministers. Raab refused to cut short his holiday in Crete to deal with the evacuation British service personnel while the Taliban took control. Why no outrage about this at the time from the Tories and their media buddies?
They have still few hours left. So lets say lowest point yet.
Is Grant Schapps implying that Rishi Sunak has never stopped working or slept during the night while in his role as PM? He needs to lay off the Grant schnapps.
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.
But…but…. Corbyn??!
And don't forget Starmer ate a curry once.
@@CravingBeer Reminds me of Republicans losing their minds over Obama's tan suit.😱

The crazeeeee far left are still genuflecting to him😂
She is arguing against herself, AND LOSING
Trevelyan floundering, desperately trying to defend something she clearly knows is ridiculous. I don't even understand the point she's trying to make here.
Party before country, everytime even at the expense of your own morals *Tories*
Trevelyan is astonishingly incoherent - 'it's like, sort of, y'know'. Empty-headed teens do that, ministers of the Crown should not.
Boris Johnson missed 4 Cobra meetings
They are so out of touch with reality! Tories out!
So we have a choice between a man who values having dinner with his wife and family on a Friday or a man who can't use a bank card.
Ah spot on! Sums up the Nasties quite nicely! 👍🙋🇮🇪🏴🙏⚖️🙏
Yes, hysterical throwing that at Mr Starmer.
If you've seen the lowest filth imaginable, the Tories will surprise you. Dorries didn't show up for a year in Parliament & took her & her daughter's salary for 3 months after stating she'd resign. Boris missed Cobra meetings & Rabb was on a beach when mahor decisions were being taken. Disgusting.
I Remember stories of Conversatives going TV, or not turning up for cobra meetings, refusing to come back from holiday for covid, having parties during lockdown, yeah this seems desperate and makes them see worse.
Schapps himself was on holiday when , I think Ukraine were first invaded ... he didn't exactly get the next flight home did he ? 👍
What a snide and nasty comment when asked if she thought Starmer didn’t already know how his life will change if he becomes PM
“well I hope he would because his life will be turned upside down“
Got to hand it to her, she flapped his lips and said absolutely nothing.
Trevelyan is expected to loose her seat by some LARGE amount. Please produce an In Memorial video of all the Tory MPs who sound like her
Great idea. A memorial vid of all the Tories who have left us, in the style of one of those end of year RIP videos they play on the news.
So starmer can’t stop at 6pm on a Friday . It was ok for the Tories to get steaming in downing street on Friday nights though yea. I can’t stand this lot anymore . One more day breathe it’s just one more day 😂.
We hope......
Let’s not forget Dominic Raab 'persuaded PM he could stay on holiday' in Afghanistan crisis in 2022.
Sunak's campaign has been absolutely pitiful. He's completely let the Tories down. Gaffs, lies and absolute desperation.
Seems all is going to plan, he’s been told to make sure Labour gets in!
Starmer knows more about time management than the whole of the Tory cabinet!
Kier Starmer will have a wide ranging comprehensive repertoire gained by his career choices including pro bono work.
Wow! He worked for U2😎
Its a non story.
'No no no!' said Boris 'Friday night isn't for your family, it is for sneaking off and starting a new family!'
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Will condemning Starmer's Friday night dinner lose the Jewish vote? Do "Christian" Prime Minister's go to church on Sundays? Shabbat Shalom!!
Who was that awful ridiculous woman at the end?
She’s made no point and I think he’ll be respected for that
"Hes gonna be a part time prime minister!"
"Like leaving dday early?"
"No, we dont agree with what rishi did"
"Ooooh... like not turning up to cobra meetings during covid?"
"Shut uuuuup!!!!"
I seem to remember Sunak going off to a football match' how dare he when the country was in crisis? he didn't even have is family with him but no doubt his security detail as tax payer expense. It's very noticeable that the Tories don't want to run this campaign on their record and have instead resorted to pettiness.
They have nothing, so they wheel out Worzel Gummidge for the series finale of the Tories. I have my wipe-out bingo card ready. I hope they get zero seats.
"it's a strange thing to put out there", she said, having literally just put out her own version of 'my dedicated free time'. why is her saying on the radio that she likes to make Sundays a private affair somehow different to Starmer saying he wants to have Friday evenings with his family. 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
Foreign Office Minister was a joke holy moly - she knew she was spouting manure but party before country 😂😂😂
Dominic Raab was on holiday when Kabul fell. Just saying...
*How many died during the Lock-down.. who is to blame?*
By Tory logic the PM going to sleep will become a nightly threat to the nations security
At least Starmer would stay for the whole poppy day parade
but remove that poppy other times
@@markryan3498facts 😂😂😂
He can't keep a poppy on for the whole day either.
My goodness. The utter gibberish that conservative minister was coming up with. Tieing up in knots about it.
Trevelyan making an absolute fool of herself here.
Who looks after JRMs many children whilst he's doing his second part time job of being a 'celebrity' TV presenter?
nanny, when he hasnt shipped them off to boarding school i assume. tories hate their kids and avoid them whenever possible.
Nanny.
8:23
Starmer was ASKED a question about his Family, He gave an answer- there's NOTHING STRANGE about saying he LOVES spending time with his Family.
We shouldn't even be wasting time talking about this!!!
Wondering if it was an arranged marriage of convenience, she is an Israeli Jew ?
@@daveoliver5838 Is the earth flat?
That's why we have a deputy pm and a cabinet and if world war 3 breaks out I'm sure starmer can pick up a phone.
THIS party wants to question Starmers work ethic.Boris Jonhnson, as PM skipped COBRA meetings (at Chequers) to finish writing a book, that a publisher had paid him, advances for!
So if a Catholic said he had to go to Mass every Sunday, would it even be noticed.
No
Anne-Marie tying herself in knots trying to simultaneously attack Starmer for taking time out but defending others, including herself, for taking time out. It was like a comedy sketch.
And she takes a whole Sunday.
Why is no one calling out this blatant antisemitism for what it is?
Shock Horror: Starmer will go to the loo, and sleep, and not work 24/7 as PM.
Even the Maybot had down time, and she was a droid.
Zero seats
Tories would probably critisise him for going to sleep at night
Boris Johnson went on a Baby Moon AFTER being briefed about the pandemic. And let’s not forget that Boris Johnson missed COBRA meetings to finish his book. Or Dominic Raab on holiday whilst the Taliban took back Afghanistan. Truly pathetic of the Tories. I couldn’t hate them more
Do the Tories not realise they are being anti-Semitic with this troupe.
With any luck Anne-Marie Trevelyan, and all the rest of her swivel-eyed colleagues, will be history by Friday morning
Anne Marie Trevrlyan sums up the Tories. All bluster and full of utter BS.
Imagine working as a Tory, having to wind yourself up in knots just to defend something you know deep down is indefensible?
This isn't even worth bothering about. It's nothing
Great discussion Tom.. it is completely mad.. totally agree
The Tories are utterly ridiculous!
What a despicable bunch!
The Dangers of One Party Tory State .
Anti Semitism by the Tories surely not.
David Cameron and his 'Friday night date nights with his wife'. Theresa May and her gym/shopping Saturdays, her church visits every Sunday. Boris Johnson skipping 5 COBRA meetings because he was writing a book on Shakespeare. Where's the criticism from the Mail, The Express, Telegraph, Maria Caulfield etc etc etc. As for Sunak skipping D Day commemorations as he 'had been to the British ones'.
The Royal Navy supported the US Rangers at the beaches. So ignorant of history to.
Never seen an organisation where lying is normal day to day
Oh yea, the Tories claim they are not antisemitic.
The Tories are a clown show
Oh Anne-Marie just stop talking. You all look ridiculous.
she was my MP - campaigned on the promise to dual the A1 in Northumberland. Was even Sec. of State for Transport for a while. 9 years later , not a single yard of road built . Useless and self serving
I enjoyed Friday Night Dinner, the Fox episode especially.
Well lets hope Starmer never holds a party in Number 10 during a national crisis...
So much for the party of family values!
When i think about what the Tories have done over the past 14 tears- hard work doesn’t come to mind. Incompetence, vacant, corrupt, party before country. Ah yes that is it.
Tories also seem to have difficulty grasping the concepts of time zones. Not everything happens during UK night time. Operations can also happen at noon in the UK when it is night time in the part of the world where the military operation is actually happening.
DESPERATE DESPERATE DESPERATE DESPERATE
Ah Tories showing the depths of their extreme privilege, only they as the ruling class can do the things Kier Starmer wishes to do. It’s ok for them but not for the peasant class in other parties. .
Tories are just the old Victorian mill bosses who hate the idea of their workers having any sort of life away from the loom.
That woman is craaaaaazzzy
Wait till the Tories find out Starmer goes to bed every night
Im'e dissabled and just got back from the poll station and i did not vote Cons. Boris is still a scruffy lier and all the work he did destroyed our Country.
