Rumours swirling about Westminster Green today suggest Michael Gove has been successfully headhunted by a recruitment specialist operating out of Westeros.
It’s believed Mr Gove has been recruited to work for the well known Lannister family in order to improve productivity in the all important field of backstabbing.
The Herald has had trouble getting a comment out of Downing Street, said to be in coms lock down while it formulates a press release, but an agent for the Westeros based concern gave the following statement,
“Cersei has long admired Mr Gove’s cold blooded ability to smile at close colleagues warmly even while he is planning to knife them as hard as he can in the back. It’s a quality not all possess and takes a certain type of mind. A mind that is worth promising to pay for. And we will. We always pay our debts.
As such the Lannisters believe he is the best fit to help them dispatch all manner of foes as they seek to rebuild after recent surprise staff losses that were in no way the fault of Cersei.
Our only concern is that Rupert may phone and order Michael to do something unexpected. But as we have no phones here that is not a live concern at present.”
To be safe, it’s believed Mr Gove will be kept away from all birds during his time working for the Lannisters.
It’s thought also that Cersei will sacrifice Mr Gove in a dragon feeding frenzy in order to save herself before his contract expires. And of course, before he can stab her in the back too.
It’s a development that could very much be called a win win.
