Make Cabinet smaller, Mr PM

He is obviously facing up to the realities of our situation.

It may be that while he is at it he could seriously look at his bloated Government and take a page out of President Emmanuel Macron of France’s book, who is to reduce his Cabinet to ten members.

At last count I think we have a 32-member Cabinet. That is far larger than the current US Cabinet. I recall that Margaret Thatcher had a Cabinet of seven.

We cannot afford this. A smaller Cabinet will give the PM far better control.
