The PM’s partner, Clarke Gayford, has shared a very personal reaction to the news military-style semi-automatic guns and assault rifles are now illegal in the land of the long white cloud.

Posting this tender image on Twitter, showing the couple’s baby daughter Neve clutching his finger, Gayford wrote: ‘For her 9-month birthday today we received the gift of crawling. While her mum got her the gift of having a safer country to grow up in.’

A stay-at-home dad, Gayford has also won a lot of lot of support – with followers showering him with praise over the post.
