Informed speculation from Laura Kuennsburg that Grayling will be new Brexit Secretary and Clare Perry who was 'ashamed' to be rail Minister, to replace him as SoS. Might mean that Devizes has a branch line and a station by Christmas ?
It would not mean that Devizes (or Marlborough, also in her constituency) had a branch line by Christmas. Of all the DfT» ministers at various levels, Claire Perry struck me as one of the best informed and best understanding of the brief - and that was not just because she was well briefed - she understood it too. Perhaps that's biased - I have met her and had meaningful conversations on a number of occasions, not always in total agreement either - perhaps other ministers are similarly good but I haven't had the pleasure of enough involvement to appreciate that. |

Claire Perry would make my day if she was SoS ,especially if jojo got shunted at the same time,However the lady has been at the dept before and might not want her fingers burnt for a second time ,shame to lose out on her talent,
Quick edit to amend spelling.

Yes, Jojo does not seem at all happy at Transport where he stumbles all too often. Perhaps Mrs May may fire off a couple of Johnsons on her own !  |

But isn't there something very rail about "JoJo" and "BoJo" ... or was that "BoBo" and "CoCo". Sorry - clowning around, and remembering the MetroVic "CoBo"s. |

.....maybe Mark Hopwood will be ennobled and take over? Plenty of nooks & crannies in which to hide in the House of Lords! 😂

Were that it real. David Davies isn't that clever. |

Gove is key now. Which side he picks will probably determine if there's a leadership challenge.
