Minister for chaos

Today is a Chris "Failing" Grayling special.

As not only today did the National Audit Office release a report that his "changes" to the way in which the probation service was run not only meant more prisoners on probation had to be re-apprehended, the scheme cost £500 million. Five hundred million that came from somewhere else. Nurses pay, health care, libraries or whatever. Money that we did not have to spend, and actually against all advice, as advice predicted, made things worse.

And this was just one of his "improvements".

And then it was announced that the Government had reached an agreement with Eurotunnel to pay them £33 million for the illegal procurement of additional ferries in the case of no deal Brexit, doing so in a secretive and anti-competitive way.

Let us remember, this was partly to a company who had no ferries, had no experience of moving freight, had £60 in the bank. I mean, what could go wrong? And this cost us, the taxpayer £33 million.

And now Grayling is Minister for Transport. Responsible for no deal Brexit planning of food and essential goods. And people want to know why I have stockpiled food?

In the past, just one such ministerial mistake would have demanded the person resign. But for Grayling,t he chaos just goes on and on.

A man so inept, he makes Gove look like a genius.
