Minister defends Cameron’s karaoke

A CABINET colleague today dismissed criticism of David Cameron’s work ethic after details emerged of the Prime Minister’s fondness for karaoke and computer games.

Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said all modern politicians had to be “workaholics” and the premier was on duty from the “crack of dawn”.

But he insisted that leaders also needed to be part of the “human race”, and should not be condemned for seeking some “light relief”.

The staunch defence followed the publication of extracts from a new biography of Mr Cameron by journalists Francis Elliott and James Hanning.

The book describes how the Prime Minister “chillaxes” during weekends at Chequers.
