In a press release today Pat McFadden, Stephen Timms and John Denham jointly announced the newly created Dynamic Response Team. The government has pledged funding of £70 million for the first year of DRT activity.

"This brilliant initiative" said McFadden "will put and end to leaden interviews with senior government ministers."

"That's right!" chipped in Timms "The DRT will be on call 24/7 to help spice up the most mundane pronouncements .. .. "

"so the dull, lifeless soundbite will be a thing of the past" finished Denham.

Seventeen highly-trained specialist officers will be made available to Number 10 Downing Street in an attempt to help fight off rumours that Gordon Brown is, in fact, an android. Other government departments will also have their own permanently stationed DRT officer to assist ministers in producing the right responses.

"The thing is" started Timms "that people are getting bored of deadpan monotone .. .."

"delivery on their television and radio" continued McFadden "but the DRT will help all of us to find .. .. "

"new and exciting ways of getting our positive message across!" ended Denham
