Boris Johnson's chief adviser Dominic Cummings said that the children's cartoon crime-fighters PJ Masks would "do a better job" than all of the prime minister's Cabinet put together, in a bizarre interview with the BBC.
Stopped outside his home by a BBC reporter on Tuesday, Cummings responded to questions about the government's decision to build a new high-speed rail line in England, by quoting the PJ Masks catchphrase "the night time is the right time to fight crime."

Cummings has hit the headlines in recent weeks due to a series of ongoing spats with the UK's leading political journalists.
Cummings was instrumental in controversial attempts to exclude journalists from certain news outlets from government briefings.
He has also reportedly barred other government advisers from having undeclared lunches with journalists and has claimed that he has a network of spies in restaurants near the UK parliament in London.
