His track record as a cabinet is absolutely atrocious. He seems to be proof that all you need to get ahead in British politics is to be well spoken and ideologically pure, even if you are not actually very good at your job.

If I were a Tory I would be utterly embarrassed by his continued presence in the cabinet. The issues with Chris Grayling go way beyond left/right ideological rubbish.
