00:00 Almost nothing daunts me about the job I've got to do.
00:03 The thing that worries me is our kids.
00:05 My boy is 15, he's going on 16, doing his GCSEs.
00:08 Teenagers.
00:09 Teenagers. He's, you know...
00:10 And he's a fantastic boy.
00:13 Our girl is 13, going on 16.
00:15 And so they're at an age where what I do impacts them
00:20 almost more than any other age.
00:21 If they were, you know, under five or something,
00:23 I don't think they would be so impacted.
00:25 So I am worried about that.
00:27 They like doing their own thing.
00:28 Have you had that conversation with them?
00:30 Because in some way, shape or form,
00:31 they'll be in the public eye.
00:32 You can be as private as you can.
00:35 So how do you...
00:36 I mean, you know, I'm not going to ask you personally.
00:37 Are they going to move into number eight?
00:39 So our 13-year-old girl,
00:41 this must have been about six or nine months ago now,
00:44 said to me one evening, she said,
00:47 "Daddy, if you do win the election,
00:50 "are you going to move into Downing Street?"
00:53 So I said, "You know, Mum and I, we take each step as we go."
00:57 Then deadpan, matter of fact, she looks at me and she says,
01:02 "Just to let you know, I'm not coming."
01:04 Wow. That is it.
01:05 What's she going to do? Where's she going?
01:07 She's got her mates.
01:09 She's got her mates in Kentish Town and she's not moving.
