Well, not only has The Girlie gone from being Transport Secretary
but has been moved to International Development Secretary.
That means she will need to take lots and lots of those nasty aeroplanes (presumably from Heathrow) to do her job. A bit of an eye-opener to her then on how the real world has to work. At least she'll build up to Gold on BA's Executive Club.
As she comes inbound early in the morning from another junket in Africa to determine what percentage of our Foreign Aid gifts will be permitted to end up in Swiss bank accounts, as she goes round and round in the Ockham Hold, she can stand up and make a cabin PA taking credit for all the timewasting and squandering of fuel that is going on for everyone in front of her because she was so opposed to sorting the problem out. Round we go again, everyone ........
Andy Atkins of Friends of the Earth claims that Justine Greening has been "shunted out of her transport job because of her opposition to a third runway at Heathrow".
No, Mr Tree-hugger, she went because she presided over the whole Heathrow runway issue becoming a constant sore and embarrassment to the government, didn't do anything about sorting it out, and then allowed the same to happen to the West Coast rail franchise, giving it to a much-despised franchisee that led to unprecedented complaints and petitions about that as well. Then there's the HS2 railway project, both stalled and has upset a significant number of marginal Conservative MPs. The list goes on.
