Former Tory MP Robert Halfon spoke to GB News

Former Tory MP Robert Halfon has described Keir Starmer’s statement that he would stop work at 6pm as ‘crazy’, saying that being Prime Minister is a 24/7 job.

Speaking to GB News, Robert Halfon said: “God help if it's five minutes to midnight, because Keir Starmer will say, 'I've got my pyjamas on, I can't answer the phone.'

“The impression was that it wasn’t just a Friday night. The impression was he was going to stop after 6pm.

“He talked about Friday night separately, because he says, 'on Friday night I always spend it with my family.' No one's got any problem with that.

“But the reality is, being Prime Minister, it's a 24-hour job. It is a 24/7 job. You've got crises coming to you every minute. We're living in a world with the Russia and Ukraine war, we've got problems in the Middle East.

“This isn't someone who can just say, I'm sorry, I'm having a cup of tea at six o'clock. It's just crazy.”
