If it’s in the Torygraph it must be bad. Worth every bit of his ministerial salary.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...-road-hauliers
Road haulage firms have accused Chris Grayling, the transport secretary, of failing to put in place any credible contingency plans for a 'no-deal' Brexit scenario, as well as "knowing nothing" about their industry.
Speaking to the Telegraph, industry leaders said they were left astonished in recent meetings with Mr Grayling where he appeared to be unaware that British lorry drivers would not be able to carry goods on the continent if the UK crashes out of the bloc. -
Wasn't Chris Grayling sacked from his last job for incompetence?
I've heard from my contacts in the Tory party (not joking here) that it's between him and IDS who gets the title of Tory party village idiot.
Although apparently Priti Patel is making a strong showing.Hard Brexit now!

I wouldn’t trust him to put his trousers on the right way round in the morning.Comment

I'm sure one of the bright spark Brexidiots on here will be along soon to tell us the lorry firms need to embrace the change and wonder what they're scared off. I'm sure too they'll have the same blank looks as Grayling had. The lack of understanding of reality for Brexiters still astonishes me. Even with all these facts and the reality coming to the fore they still don't get it.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

It's really a battle between the people on the right hand side of the Gaussian curve and those on the left.
The fudge will still condemn the country to being the new Italy of Europe though.Hard Brexit now!
