Tory criticism of Sir Keir Starmer’s desire to spend time with his family if he becomes prime minister was “disgusting”, John Swinney has said.

Sir Keir said this week he will aim to ensure he is free of official business on Friday evenings to spend them with loved ones, but the comments were criticised by some Conservative officials.

In a nod to the Labour leader’s comments, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said being in Number 10 “entails sacrifice”, while former PM Boris Johnson joked at an event that it was “way past Keir Starmer’s bedtime”.

Sir Keir said the attacks were “laughably ridiculous”.

Scottish First Minister Mr Swinney was clearly angered by the Tory criticism.
