Grayling is not going to be head of Intelligence Watchdog

[quiet guy]

Just shows how shit Johnson's planning is for Grayling to be pipped at the post and lose out on this important role after many months of being lined up for the job.

No doubt he has been pulled from this to lead the independent review into the Government's handling of Coronavirus.

Knifes are out.

Lewis has apparently lost the whip

 

[Smangus]

is all I can say.

We already know how vindictive the tories are

 

[Badgers]

What a disgusting government we have

 

[Supine]

Next revenge - publishing the Russia report

 

[stavros]

So Julian Lewis sticks two fingers up at the Cummings-Johnson axis. What's the dirt on him?

i wouldn't be so sure of that, or well anything really:

All governments are disgusting

But some are more disgusting than others

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

Umm... it's not actually a cabinet position.
Pretty much the opposite, in fact

 

[Badgers]

It will have more lines on it than Michael Gove’s coffee table

Nicked from twitter ^

 

[ruffneck23]

so , they have cancelled the one person who can now get the Russia report published , which makes me think either there's nothing in it , or ( hopefully more likely ) there is and now Julian Lewis , now not beholden to the govt, can get it published purely out of spite.

How MPs vote for Chair of a committee is meant to be secret, isn't it?

 

[Streathamite]

oops

I think I meant "government" generally

Erm, no it isn't that.either. it's a position chairing a Parliamentary Committee that monitors the government - or rather, their Intelligence and Security services

Twitter has it as...

Only Chris Grayling could lose a rigged election.

Heh, we'll have to wait and see eh? If it is published I wouldn't be in the least surpised to find some redactions.

There can't be many people who remember the Newham stuff about Lewis and Prentice, but I do .........
ETA : The Wiki stuff looks accurate, from what I recall.
But I wish I could remember my actual source though

Are they still redactions if someone uses a highlighter and underlines them with "READ WHAT HE DID!!!" in the margin?

God, they are so fucking unbelievably dumb.
They have just thrown away the sole bit of leverage they had over him.
How willing to give you an easy ride do you think he will be now, you halfwits?

 

[Sprocket.]

Grayling’s problem, apart from being utterly useless, is in every post he held he set a very low standard and failed to maintain it.

 

[Streathamite]

Damn, beat me to it!

What a disgusting government we have

But in true tory fashion in PMQs today, Johnson blamed Starmer, Labour and the unions for undermining the confidence of the nation
