The Government has responded to claims that they've scouted someone for a ministerial post who intentionally crashed a plane.
'Yes, we were a little worried that he might have done it intentionally,' said a Government spokesperson, 'but as the old adage goes: think incompetence before malice, but never rule out malice...and we've adopted that as our recruitment strategy.
'If he'd crashed the plane by mistake and made oodles of money for himself after parachuting down unharmed, we'd definitely be tapping him up for a Cabinet position. If it was intentional, well, he'll still fit right in at the heart of UK Government.
'The only problem is deciding what department to put him in: the economy, the NHS, education...his talents suit all of them, but where would he be perfect? Oh wait, I know...Brexit!
