Grayling is not going to be head of Intelligence Watchdog

[Sprocket.]

First person to be parachuted in and miss the ground.

Grayling probably paid a private contractor millions to pack his parachute for him.

 

[William of Walworth]

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

Do I need to bother to ask on what 'grounds' Johnson suggested this?

Probably not

This lot are making Thatcher's cabinet members look intellectual and competitant.

 

[Badgers]

Grayling sleeps with the ferries

 

[Pickman's model]

This lot are making Thatcher's cabinet members look intellectual and competitant.

This lot are making May's lot look competent and strong and stable

 

[Badgers]

This lot are making UKIP look competent and tolerant

 

[two sheds]

They've cheered me up no end tonight though

 

[Sprocket.]

Radio4 The World Tonight started with the Grayling story playing the theme music from Tinker, Tailor...

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Grayling did a Devon Loch in a one horse race

 

[Sprocket.]

Some alleged tory wag remarked earlier, Grayling was invited to walk on a red carpet, but tripped and set fire to it.

 

[existentialist]

that late?

If we can get hold of the medical records, I am confident that we will discover that Grayling's birth will turn out to have been an assisted delivery.

And his conception was probably an accident.

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

He is a cunt, but he's not Johnson's cunt.

 

[Sprocket.]

Hopefully looking forward to another day of tory party self evisceration.

 

[dylanredefined]

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

Fitted for ,but not with parachute.

 

[existentialist]

Hopefully looking forward to another day of tory party self evisceration.

Only a day?

 

[Chilli.s]

At last, a failing that seems ok. The irony was just too strong with Grayling and intelligence all in the same label.

Shouldn't the thread title now be "Grayling fails to be head of Intelligence Watchdog"?

 

[alex_]

Twitter has it as...

Only Chris Grayling could lose a rigged election.

grayling fails intelligence test ?

 

[phillm]

If you can't detect a plot when you're the chair-elect of the INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, then really, you have no business chairing said Committee.

TBF, he was only ever going to be BJ's placeman, but you'd have thought the PRIME MINISTER might have contemplated the possibility that things wouldn't go to pl...oh.

Or perhaps thread title should rather be "Grayling fails Intelligence Test"

The original plan was of course to put Grayling in charge with explicit instructions to get the Russian report published as quickly as possible. Thereby guaranteeing it would never see the light of day.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Intelligence and Security Committee unanimously agrees to publish Russia report

The London Economic - The ruling comes just hours after Dr Julian Lewis was appointed as chair of the committee, much to the Prime Minister's dismay - Politics

Ta da!
I hope this is good!

 

[maomao]

So now Raab is briefing the press about Russia's involvement in leaking documents regarding a post Brexit US trade deal in 2019. This was known about in 2019 wasn't it? It's not remotely a new story. Presumably the Guardian is happy to run with this because Starmer the fucking charmer isn't implicated and the more shit that gets slung at Tories and Corbynites the better.

Please excuse my political naivete, but is this part of some kind of get-your-retaliation-in-first type damage limitation exercise?

Clearly held it back just in case they had to publish the report.

Well duh. Was more commenting on the Guardian's eagerness to give a contrived government deflection statement prominence in order to bury Corbynism a little deeper.
