Whitehall pen-pushers have consistently whined about dragging themselves into the office a meagre three days a week. They’ve spared no expense on making home-working as comfortable as possible…

In response to a written question trade minister Justin Madders admitted that civil servants over at the Business and Trade Department splashed a whopping £318,148 on work from home equipment from April 2022 to March 2025.
