Ah fair.
I mean I don’t know whether he does hate being prime minister or not but I don’t really think an unnamed Labour source giving a silly quote to *the national* is…evidence
Keir Starmer spends his weekends 'complaining' about how much he 'hates' being Prime Minister, reports say, as his Government faces relentless scandals
