Grayling is not going to be head of Intelligence Watchdog

[quiet guy]

Dear God here we go again. The man must have some secret files on BoJo and the rest of the Cabinet to be getting this job.

Adolf Hitler to be appointed Anti-Semitism Tsar.

Cummings, the sub-par Rasputin needs as many people as possible in the cabinet to be significantly more thick than him.

 

[equationgirl]

I have no words for this.

 

[NoXion]

Cummings, the sub-par Rasputin needs as many people as possible in the cabinet to be significantly more thick than him.

The man is a devil in plain sight. Even die-hard Tories should have reason enough to hate his guts, if for no other reason than for showing up their leader to be the weak puppet that he is.

 

[skyscraper101]

He's a tosser.

 

[Roadkill]

Cummings, the sub-par Rasputin needs as many people as possible in the cabinet to be significantly more thick than him.

There's also BJ's utter uselessness, which would be shown up by anyone in Cabinet with even a sliver of talent. That's why without exception they're a bunch of nonentities.

Putting Failing Grayling in charge of the Intelligence Committee really is a new low, though. It's not so much scraping the barrel as sticking the scraper right through the bottom.

Part One of David Hencke's investigation into the human and financial cost of MP Chris Grayling’s long list of now infamous blunders: first his time as Employment Minister and then Justice Secretary.

Grayling may look like an idiot and he may sound like an idiot, but don't let that fool you.

He really is an idiot.

Quite possibly, but this is not a cabinet post, even Cummings knows that.

oops

I think I meant "government" generally

 

[Supine]

Honestly, you couldn't make it up

 

[existentialist]

Grayling may look like an idiot and he may sound like an idiot, but don't let that fool you.

He really is an idiot.

It's a very cunning double bluff.

It's nit really a post in "government" either.

 

[gentlegreen]

king hell - even worse ...

Under the Justice and Security Act 2013 and the accompanying Memorandum of Understanding, the ISC oversees the policies, expenditure, administration and operations of MI5, MI6, GCHQ, Defence Intelligence, the Joint Intelligence Organisation, the National Security Secretariat (NSS) and the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism.

The Committee sets its own agenda and work programme, taking evidence from Ministers, the Heads of the intelligence and security Agencies, senior officials, experts, and academics as it considers necessary.

Maybe they’ll parachute him behind enemy lines. Enemy yet to be decided.

 

[gentlegreen]

It apparently is now - or that's the intention ...

 

[ash]

I think Grayling must have some very dodgy photos of Cummings and Johnson !! Or is he Another one of Johnson’s stool pigeons. What a shower of shites. A smorgasbord of inadequacy.

 

[Doodler]

Poor timing from the government's POV as the grayling was recently recognised in Geneva as the scientific unit for cock-ups.

Locking yourself out of your own home is around 15-20 milligraylings. Giving any kind of work to Grayling himself has yields beginning around 5 kilograylings for a paper round, and it goes up from there.

 

[Supine]

A smorgasbord of inadequacy.

 

[Pickman's model]

it will be interesting to see whether the russia report as written is amended by the committee under the direction of the unspeakable grayling

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Almost like they don't actually want intelligence to be scrutinised...

 

[Pickman's model]

this is damning

 

[vanya]

And the Tories had the nerve to claim Corbyn was a threat to our security.

Chris Grayling accidentally locks himself in broom cupboard on first day as Chairman of Intelligence Committee

Boris Johnson has appointed Chris Grayling as the new Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, who has wasted no time in putting his own unique spin on the role.

Lol

 

[ska invita]

its the will of the people

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I’m having difficulty getting my head around this watchdog thingy. Is this how it works?
A dog watches over Chris Grayling to see if there are any signs of intelligence. At least that would make some kind of sense.

 

[two sheds]

Will be interested to learn how he loses millions of pounds doing it though.

Eta: losing a futile and wrongheaded legal appeal was how he did it last time wasn't it? (Bookban for prisoners really wtf to lose millions over).

 

[quiet guy]

The magic money tree is going to be stripped bare with him and BoJo's other idea of reforming the NHS

I hope he's put in charge of keeping it secret.
