Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander’s car had to be towed away after hitting a pothole “crater worthy of the moon”.
The unfortunate incident occurred last month when the top Cabinet minister was driving her Mini Cooper on the B4437 outside Burford in Oxfordshire last month as she travelled back to her Swindon South constituency from a Labour fundraising event.
Pictures show her green car being loaded on to an AA recovery truck after the incident.
Speaking to the Sun, she said: “I joked to my husband that I thought that the astronauts on Artemis II might have seen a similar-size crater when they were slingshotting around the Moon last week.”

English councils risk losing up to a third of their funding to fix potholes if they fail to demonstrate they are working effectively, the Department for Transport announced this week.
