"This country cannot afford Chris Grayling" - McDonald

Andy McDonald MP, Labour’s Shadow Transport Secretary, commenting on the Department for Transport decision to cancel the No-Deal Brexit ferry contracts, said:

“Chris Grayling and the ferry contracts will for evermore be a case study in Ministerial incompetence.

“The Transport Secretary’s approach to procurement and planning has cost taxpayers tens, if not, hundreds of millions of pounds. His career as a minister has left a trail of scorched earth and billions of pounds of public money wasted. 

“This country cannot afford Chris Grayling.”
