Diva Minister issued civil servants with Demand List

While Labour ministers are often accused of breathtaking incompetence, for example after loosing the confidential data of 20 million people, or after selling the UK gold reserve at record low prices, it seems that there are some things they are good at organising.

Like their coffee breaks for example. Liam Byrne, the new cabinet enforcer, has issued an 11 page diktat to his civil servants, in which he demands a cappuccino when he arrives, soup at 12.30-1pm, and an espresso at 3pm.

In the document, modestly entitled "Working With Liam Byrne", the diva minister also insists that size 16 point font must be used for his briefing notes.

Liam Byrne is the same Labour Minister who, while working at the Home Office, was fined £100 and given 3 points on his driving license for illegally using his mobile phone while driving.
