Serious question: does Grayling have a reputation for regularly changing
his mind?

He'll be long gone as Transport Minister before the next round of frog
boiling.

In other words, you admit he doesn't have that reputation? If so, why
say it?

He may not be around for very long, but will be there long enough to
get the MML IEPs ordered. In any case, it will be the DfT's civil
servants' idea, not his, and so will continue even after he's moved
on.


That depends on him. His interest in the railway extends to opening
Cambridge North station yesterday and then departing by car.


Well, he's responsible for roads as well as trains


Did the LibDems at Cambridge North today give him their list of
potholes?
