The kitchen is the real office of the house. The most important business is carried out across the counter, with none of the anarchy of cubicle architecture. ↗

I'm going to reduce the size of the Cabinet, cut the number of ministers, reduce the size of the House of Commons, campaign for a European Parliament with 100 fewer members, halve the number of political advisers, and abolish a huge swathe of Labour's regional bureaucracies and agencies and their offices in Brussels. ↗
