This Conservative government has normalised spectacular U-turns on key decisions but David de Gea performed his own in 2015.
Although De Gea was set to join Real Madrid in that summer, a fax machine that was supposed to confirm the details of the transfer infamously did not work and the move collapsed, leading him to sign a contract extension at Manchester United.
De Gea signed a four-year contract and his salary was raised from £40,000 a week to £200,000 a week. Real Madrid went on to win four Champions League titles in the next seven years, but De Gea has no regrets about the dodgy fax machine.
