Uri Geller applies for Downing Street job after Dominic Cummings called for ‘weirdos and misfits’

Magician and entertainer Uri Geller has formally applied for a job at 10 Downing Street, after Dominic Cummings advertised for “weirdos and misfits”.

Last week Mr Cummings posted a 3,000-word job advert on his personal blog, calling for “true wild cards” to work for Downing Street.

Mr Geller put himself forward for one of the jobs, saying that his “genuine” powers would be an asset to the Government.

The spoon bender claimed his psychic persona had been ‘the perfect mask’ for work with the CIA and FBI, claiming to have erased crucial diplomatic floppy discs on their way to Moscow using “mind power”.
