Unfair on colleagues with kids? What you say about post-work drinks

Jeremy Corbyn thinks going to the pub after work is unfair on mums.

The Labour leader says drinking with colleagues only benefits men "who don't feel the need to be at home looking after their children".

He was speaking at an event to launch his policy on equal rights for women - which then had a drinks do afterwards.

He went on to say work socials "discriminate against women who will want to, obviously, look after the children".

So obviously we've been to the pub to investigate his claims.

Emma and Connie don't have children and are enjoying a few glasses of wine after work.

But Emma says if she did, she'd be pretty upset if her boyfriend was at the pub on a Friday night.

"If I did have kids I would probably be a bit annoyed - they can come home and drink with me!"

"I think it's down to each relationship," Connie says.

"If the guy wants to go out, then that's between him and the mother of his children.

"If the girl wants to go out then that's between them too.

"Getting a babysitter is the way forward - or compromise - one week she goes out, one week he goes out."

So does she agree with Mr Corbyn?

"I think his view is outdated."

Chris is married and has a 14-month old baby girl. He's on his third pint when Newsbeat speaks to him.

So what does his wife make of his Friday drinking?

"She's fine with it up to a point. That point being as long as I don't get in absolutely smashed and I'm absolutely out of the picture tomorrow."

But for Tom, who doesn't have children, he says it's all about balance.

"Having a bit of time with your colleagues down the pub is a good way to socialise.

"We're not going on a big bender, it's just a few pints down the pub and I think that's respectable."

This group all work together.

First there's Brian (at the end on the right) who has a wife and a baby. He's had two pints. That's his limit for Friday.

Brian says it's all about priorities.

"If you don't see your child from Monday to Friday, then you want to get home on a Friday night to see your child... and your wife."

Then there's Steve (at the back in the white shirt) who's on his second pint.

His fiance is due to give birth any minute but he says he's "getting amongst it".

"If I don't get the call I will stay as long as I can.

"She will probably expect me home."

Sarah (in the patterned jacket) isn't a mum but says she'd definitely expect the father of her child to be home on a Friday.

She thinks it's "disgusting" that Steve isn't home with his fiance.

But there could be a solution. Steve argues that in the future "we'll just bring the baby to the pub".
