George Osborne doesn’t like it if your blinds are down in the morning

Other Tory initiatives include "fold your clothes better", "tidy your room" and "call your grandmother more often, she likes to talk to you."

George Osborne told the Today programme that:

They may leave their blinds down for security reasons
They may leave their blinds down because they leave home before it gets light
They may leave their blinds down because they leave home before their children wake up
They may leave their blinds down because they don’t want light in their house
They may leave their blinds down because they work from home and don’t need to take a punishing commute
They may leave their blinds down because they work a night shift and only just got back home before you left for work
They may leave their blinds down because their disability means they require more sleep than people who have the good fortune to be healthy
They may leave their blinds down because they don’t want to raise them and don’t really understand why that is now the test of whether or not they are thought of as “living a life on benefits”
