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.
