UK Leader of the Opposition Michael Howard went on a morning soft-focus TV show with his wife, reflecting a Tory strategy to present a softer public image (relative to his enforcer persona from his cabinet days). Amongst the highlights:

Romance bloomed after Mr Howard sent her [his future wife] a copy of F Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night.
Mr Howard admitted that he is not a "domestic god" although he still would make his wife a cup of tea in the morning.
He and his wife also enjoyed playing table tennis "pretty strenuously" together, which he usually won.
