Joke of the day

From The Independent (here):
David Davis breezily announced on the radio that “I don’t have to be very clever to do my job, I don’t have to know very much.” 
Just as well.

Or it would be, if he was even half competent.

As The Guardian points out:
Suddenly the whole point of David Davis became clear. After first fantasising he read impact assessments that never existed and then managing to contradict himself within 24 hours on whether the interim deal was legally binding, the Brexit secretary has created the perfect framework for all future negotiations. Thanks to his hopelessness and incompetence, there really is no longer any way of telling what is true and what is not. We have entered a post-modern political world where suspension of both belief and disbelief are one and the same.
