Just about every political leader is accused of having a kitchen cabinet. Not a wooden cupboard in the corner - but a "behind the scenes" grouping of unelected officials and cronies, who most definitely have the ear of "The Boss".

Historian and author, Rosalind Miles and a key member of what came to be known as John Major's kitchen cabinet, Sheila Gunn, join Sheila to discuss the power and the fear connected with such gatherings.
