Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander has a Fisher Price shop till, Energy Secretary Chris Huhne plays with a Lego wind farm, while Business Secretary Vince Cable regularly sits in a Wendy House rocking backwards and forwards with his head in his hands.</p> <p>Nick Clegg will unveil his new steering wheel at the next Prime Minister’s Questions. ‘This government is all about giving power back to the people,’ said Mr Clegg, ‘I want everyone in Britain to feel the same sense of power as I do when I honk my little horn.’ </p>
