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.

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

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
