Chris Grayling managed to lose his latest job before he even got it – 12 scathing takedowns

In a shift from convention, Boris Johnson had seemed to parachute the serial failure Chris Grayling into the position of chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee, which is to oversee the publication of the Russia Report.

Despite having the highest endorsement possible – presumably that of Dominic Cummings, when the committee voted in the chairperson, Grayling’s wheels fell off, leaving Julian Lewis in the position.

BREAKING
MPs on the Intelligence & Security Committee have elected Tory backbencher Julian Lewis to chair the committee – rebelling against No10 which wanted Chris Grayling to get the role.
