Remember The 1976 Minister for Drought?

It was a guy called Dennis Howell, if I recall, and he was 'promoted' to deal with the Drought Hotline because we were actively encouraged to snitch on our neighbours.

Naturally, he wasn't in the job 5 minutes when the rain began again.

Then he went back to being a humble Minister for Sport.

Will the new PM revive the Minister for Drought appointment?
