Boris Johnson's top adviser wants to recruit "weirdos and misfits" as part of a drive to overhaul the way the U.K. government works.

Hinting at a wider restructuring of the civil service, he said there are "profound problems at the core of how the British state makes decisions."
"It is obvious that improving government requires vast improvements in project management," Cummings said. "The first project will be improving the people and skills already here."
