'Ridiculous' No 10 better off as a museum, says ex-Starmer aide
No 10 Downing Street should be turned into a museum or flats, Sir Keir Starmer’s former cost-of-living tsar has said.
The building, which has been the official residence of the Prime Minister of Great Britain since the 1700s, is “not fit for purpose”, according to Lord Walker of Broxton.
Lord Walker, the chairman of Iceland supermarket and former cost of living tsar, called the 300-year-old building “not conducive to collaborative working”, with officials struggling to book “tiny” meeting rooms.
The problem is the quality of the discussions conducted inside No 10 and decisions made as a result of those discussions.
The solution is not - blame the building and move to somewhere bigger and more convenient.
May as well blame Larry the No 10 cat.

I've no doubt that a 'new number 10' would be quite palatial and a recognition of the 'worthiness' of those using it.
Suggestions that it should be a warehouse on the outskirts of Luton, with no chairs in the meeting rooms (to keep the meeting short) would be dismissed quickly for 'reasons'.
DJ - a warehouse with no chairs on the outskirts of Luton sounds just the job. Unheated too, should focus a few minds.
