Why would little mark be hiding away from the house?
He is always front and centre about 'getting things done' and very outspoken about issues on Brexit, Europe and anything cunty.

I do hope he's OK

Be interesting to see the answer from the HoC. I expect it will be Covid.

The plot thickens if so, because according to Twitter he was on a train in East London this morning...

Advocate General for Scotland has resigned over the Internal Market Bill.

The next time a man drives London to Durham during this crisis it will likely be to get a Covid test

There is no way that this can be anything other than corrupt. At the very least, it's the peddling of influence and connections.

I know it's just the done thing, but I still don't understand how people see that and don't think "well, that's 7 hours a week he won't be doing MP work". That's a full working day.

Even if he did it in his "off-time" (lollers), that's then not a healthy work-life balance which leaves him burnt out.

Then again, with this particular MP maybe there's a virtue in him spending time on other things.

Generous port company to spend six figure sum keeping Grayling from fucking things up for seven hours a week

It's flagrant corruption. If you step back and look at some of what has happened in the last few years - I'm thinking especially the prorogation debacle last year and the scandal of contracts awarded under the emergency covid regulations, but there are myriad other examples - it's hard to escape the conclusion that the UK is behaving like a banana republic, even a 'failed state.'

Rees-Mogg says that those who complain about not getting tested are "carping" and they should instead celebrate "phenomenal success". Extraordinary.

Oh well, it might help to highlight to those a bit slow on the uptake that, under the faux-politeness and bollocks affectations, Rees-Mogg is just a dishonest lump of shit.

Home Office 'bases immigration policies on anecdotes and prejudice' – MPs

Public accounts committee report accuses department of ignoring evidence and failing to learn from its mistakes

www.theguardian.com

The Home Office has drawn up immigration policies on “anecdote, assumption and prejudice” instead of relying on evidence, an influential parliamentary committee has concluded.

The public accounts committee said Priti Patel’s department was unaware of the damage caused by policy failures on “both the illegal and legitimate migrant populations”.

In a highly critical report published on Friday, the committee said in summary that Home Office’s officials had “no idea” what its £400m annual spending on immigration enforcement achieves.

“We are concerned that if the department does not make decisions based on evidence, it instead risks making them on anecdote, assumption and prejudice,” the cross-party committee concluded.

That's so totally, flagrantly corrupt. Also, are those ports publicly owned? If so, there's a court case there, just waiting to happen.
I'd also queston the judgment of whoever made that particular hiring decision.
I mean, the guy is famous for fucking up literally everything he touches. Have they seen his record?

It's not about consultancy really: it's about giving a private port operator (which this is) direct access to government. Corrupt as fuck, as you say, but that is par for the course in Britain atm.

I believe the port workers aren't best pleased, having had to take quite a hit financially themselves.

Indeed; my understanding is the MPs are never expected to do any work in these jobs.

Would be kind of funny if, 6 months on, someone asked Grayling to point to exactly what he'd advised on. Maybe different coffee pods in the staff canteen.

With Grayling? Given his record he'll probably end up pouring shipping chat into the Dean of Westminster's lughole.
