Labour hits back after Starmer 'four-day week' criticism
Labour's Wes Streeting has hit back after a Tory minister accused Sir Keir Starmer of intending to work a "four-day week" should he become prime minister.
The Labour leader said he would avoid working after 6pm on Fridays to spend time with his children.
"Keir Starmer is a great dad, he loves his family and spends time with them.
His first priority will always be the country," Mr Streeting said.
