Fantasy Government Update

In the wake of yet another data security fiasco (see next post down) I thought it was time to bring my Fantasy Government Cock-Up Table up-to-date.

In the game that rewards incompetence, the ever-dependable Jack Straw leads the way, but he's got serious competition from his colleagues. Des Browne is the latest to break his duck, on the back of the MoD Recruits' Great Data Giveaway.

Anyone wanting to play the game is most welcome. What you do is try to predict who the most cock-up encompassing Cabinet Minsters will be, and pick a Fantasy Cabinet of five ministers. Just as with Fantasy Football, there's a "price" on each "player", to stop you just picking the most obvious choices.

To join in, click on each of the three links near the top of the sidebar on the right, to read the rules, see the form book and make your choice. If we get enough players I'll actually start seeing who's picking the most incompetent team.

For the record, my own team is: Jack Straw, Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper, Hazel Blears and the Divine Harriet.
