No 10 recently confirmed that Keir Starmer has cancelled a planned family holiday to Europe because of the riots across England this summer.

After an intense election campaign and with the subsequent hard work ahead, it may be wise for the prime minister to take time to recharge the batteries.

Do you think Starmer ought to have gone away with his family? What’s your view of political leaders taking a holiday? Has your opinion of the prime minister changed now that he’s continuing to work through the summer? Let us know your thoughts.
