Chris ‘no ships’ Grayling just got a £100k job advising ports – only 5 responses you need
It’s not peak 2020 – there’s plenty of time left for that – but it’s surely somewhere close after Chris ‘failing’ Grayling landed a £100k job advising the owners of some of the UK’s top ports.
Grayling, you’ll remember, is the former transport secretary who famously awarded a lucrative post-Brexit ferry contact to a firm that had … no ferries.
The Tory MP will earn £100k a year for seven hours work a week. Well, that level of expertise doesn’t come cheap. And it’s fair to say the entire country was asking the same question.
How on earth does Chris Grayling, the man responsible for blowing £80million of taxpayers money on a failed post Brexit ferry contract, land a £100,000 a year job advising a ports company?

I dunno, man. It must be a hell of a collection of photographs that Chris Grayling's got. https://t.co/Wt0OGy5fEa

This is a bargain. Just take whatever he advises and do the exact opposite. Security firms hire burglars for this reason. https://t.co/omNLSDhZFp

Reminded us of the moment an MP did this (it’s all about John Bercow’s reaction).
WATCH: The Speaker of the House, John Bercow, just had to rebuke a Labour MP for shouting “Ahoy There!” at the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling – presumably in reference to his utterly shambolic handling of the Seaborne Freight debacle!#AhoyThere#FailingGrayling pic.twitter.com/78pT8zDWZX
