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.
