“On a Friday – I’ve been doing this for years – I will not do a work-related thing after 6pm, pretty well come what may. There are a few exceptions, but that’s what we do,” he explained. Oh dear, Keir. The real question isn’t whether you’ll be able to avoid the work of being prime minister on a Friday night, but whether your teenage children will want you to.
Aged 16, I’m afraid the idea of sitting down to dinner with my parents at the end of the week was the last thing I had in mind. Try instead under-18 club nights, finding friends with free houses or drinking alcopops on street corners (incidentally, with the then prime minister’s son, but that’s another story). Family Friday nights? I suspect they’ll be shimmying down the Downing Street drainpipes given the first chance.
