Grayling's back!

[Nero]

Sometimes, I think No10 is trolling us all. No, on second thoughts, I now know they're trolling us. It's almost as if they have a quick meeting every morning where they ask the question "how can we wind up the Guardian readers today, so they will be distracted from the other stuff we're doing?".

How can this idiot be put in charge of disseminating the Russia report?

I'm not sure how that's a surprise. It's standard practice.

I suspect somebody tasked with shortlisting candidates googled ‘Chris Grayling and intelligence’ and saw lots of hits, but didn’t notice that most of them also included the words ‘complete’ ‘lack’ and ‘of’.

Judging by all the Guardian click-bait headlines my wife reads out to me on Facebook, the Guardian does that job all by itself! I think of it like the Mail but with long words.

Skewered by Marina, again.
I’d say the man has no shame, but he’s clearly so unaware of his own stupidity it’s quite terrifying.

We have a Wallygarchy

 

[Nero]

Sorry, should have credited that to Marina

 

[davidjt]

Good news after all.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

Good news after all.

Failed again, even with a deck stacked in his favour.

 

[rbrown]

Ha ha Grayling not back it seems. Ch4 reporting that he has been stitched up by a fellow Tory.

The Times and the Daily Telegraph hide behind paywalls. The Financial Times allows one article a day.
But there's always the Daily Mail.
