What a quitastrophy

Today one of the government’s key figures announced his intention to resign by the end of June. The Rt Memorable James O’Malley, a civil servant announced that he was resigning his post as of June 13th.
Whilst speculation had been mounting for some time, it was only today that O’Malley finally confirmed that he was going. In a speech today, O’Malley exercised an unusual degree of humility and said that “I ask you to accept one thing, I did what I thought was right” – which was thought to be a veiled reference to the ill-fated so-called “dodgy dossier”, in which he claimed that an entire batch of tax returns could be processed within 45 minutes. This later proved untrue.
James O’Malley will now be embarking on a “long goodbye”, looking back on his nine months in the office. It is thought this tour will include trips to both the second floor photocopier room, as well as the Coke machine.
He has thus far refused to endorse a successor, including the widely believed most likely successor “no one”.
