Jeremy Hunt’s children left notes to welcome Sir Keir Starmer’s son and daughter into Downing Street.

The Prime Minister has taken the larger flat above Number 11 that was occupied by the former chancellor, his wife Lucia and their children Jack, 13, Anna, 11 and Eleanor, nine.

He revealed the youngsters had written thoughtful letters to his children, who are aged 16 and 13.

Sir Keir said: “In terms of notes what I will tell you is this, it was very nice. Jeremy Hunt’s children left notes for our children coming into the Number 11 flat.

“We have not moved in yet because we didn’t want to leave the kids there while we were away, but I think that was really sweet and thoughtful of them to do that because for children this is very impactful.

“They have been through it. They are slightly different ages but for them to be thoughtful enough to leave a note is very special... our children were very pleased to get those notes.”
