Re: Chris Grayling
I can only assume Boris would like a nearby stooge to take the flak away from him at regular intervals.
A journalist pointed out recently that the Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, looks a lot like Chris Grayling. They did also point out that's literally where the similarities end.

They're both called Chris as well.

Re: Chris Grayling
The Russian influence report could now be completely redacted, except for "Printed by HMSO". How else can he demonstrate his loyalty to Boris?

Redacting the report is a tacit acceptance of there being influence to hide.

Re: Chris Grayling
In unrelated news the MOD have been quick to play down to the revelation that an unlocked briefcase containing the nuclear codes was somehow posted to the Russian embassy, gift-wrapped in a map charting the positions and planned patrol routes of all Trafalgar, Astute and Vanguard submarines.
Mrs Grayling made a request to the Captain of HMS Venegance asking if he could check their secure locker for an anorak with the name “Chris” written in marker pen inside the hood and a single red mitten attached to it with string, and an A-Team packed lunch box containing an egg and cress sandwich, a banana Munch Bunch yoghurt and a chocolate Freddo.
To which Chris Grayling broke from his handlers to add “it’s vital that the delicious chocolatey frog is returned to the UK immediately as a matter of national security so immediately head from your current location seven miles SSW and the HMS Queen Elizabeth has been diverted to rendezvous with you 50 miles East of Bear Island.”

It's no dafter than having Nadine Dorries as a "health" minister.
Truly, this is The Government of the Lack of Talents.

It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Re: Chris Grayling
To be fair to Nadine, she was once a nurse, so actually has some experience of health care. The same cannot be said of Grayling and intelligence of any shape or form.
Re: Chris Grayling
A nurse for 3 years between '78 and '81...But seems to have forgotten a lot of it, considering her advocacy of homeopathy among other things, which alone ought to disqualify her from many things.

Re: Chris Grayling
Meanwhile, the Spanish science minister and the Canadian transport minister are both ex-astronauts. Which probably gives some insight into both jobs.

Having astronaut on your CV must open a lot of doors, even for things that are totally irrelevant. It would just be nice having somebody around who's been to space, even if it didn't involve a combination of high-level scientific expertise, military training and personal physical and mental resilience.
We have the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment.
Re: Chris Grayling
It involves a whole lot of work with government agencies and bureaucracy, across a spectrum from the military to government research and admin, to do something that risk-averse governments would probably rather no one did.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 11:47 am

A company has decided that Chris Grayling is, in fact, a very stable genius, and worth paying £100k for working one day a week. He's going to advise Hutchison Ports, who presumably will now go bust within the next two years.

"We have every confidence that the decision to build deep-water ports in Basel, Geneva, La Paz and Ulan Bator will allow Hutchison Ports to benefit from the boom in international trade.
Furthermore we are very excited by Chris Grayling's suggestion that expanding our operations to the desert-world of Arrakis will reap great rewards; "the profits must flow!"
The opening of the first site on the Habbanya Erg will be celebrated by a three hour performance by a 400-piece steel-drum band and the dance troupe "Stomp!", we are confidently expecting wormsign the likes of which even God himself has never seen!"
In other news Grayling's first attempt to log-in to a Hutchison Ports' Microsoft Teams meeting has resulted in a number of small electrical fires in several major ports across three continents. No casualties reported.

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!
