Ken wants to spend more time with his children:
London mayor Ken Livingstone said he arrived 30 minutes late for a BBC radio debate because he needed to spend some time with his children…
[Livingstone] said he left home late as his children “just wanted a little time this morning, sorry about that”.
Yeah, I’m very sorry. Look, my kids haven’t seen me any evening this week and they didn’t see me at the weekend and they just wanted a little time this morning, sorry about that,” he added.(BBC)

Maybe he should spend more time with them on a permanent basis, then?

    Is this a case for “What they really meant?”:

    “[My children] just wanted a little time this morning, sorry about that”.
    “The nanny didn’t turn up this morning, so I didn’t have any alternative but to stay with them until she turned up. That’s what you get from employing Polish workers I suppose though”

    “Look, my kids haven’t seen me any evening this week and they didn’t see me at the weekend and they just wanted a little time this morning, sorry about that,”
    “I’ve been busy during the evenings - ask Max Mosley about that”

    “they don’t understand why daddy spends more time with Boris than with them”
    “…but I’ve got to keep my friends in the KGB. They don’t call me Red Ken for nothing. They don’t understand why I spend a lot of time with Mr Johnson either”

    Agreed. Being unemployed is quite handy if you want to spend more time with the family.
