Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | yesterday
Above we have the Labour Party's Favourite Tory Blogger LPFTB Iain Dale leading a horse to water but he cannot make him drink. The horse, formerly known as Eclipse is now named "Chris Grayling", though he's no gray - he's a liver chestnut or sorrel as it goes. Iain is it seems grooming him for the Chair of the Tory Party with Dave Cameron (far right) about to put him through his paces with a tough...

David Cameron, quoted in the Financial Times on Wednesday: “My vision over time is to move increasingly towards defined contribution rather than final salary schemes [for the public sector]“. Chris Grayling, his pensions spokesman on Thursday: “That is not a decision we have taken. That is not a decision we have even discussed.” Oops.

Today, commenting on the forthcoming unemployment statistics , he retched up this magnificent example of Conservative double-think: We think we should not walk on by when people are losing their jobs in large numbers. Come again, Chris? Most of your elders in the party built their careers doing...

Ministers had little time to savour upbeat headlines generated yesterday by a Cabinet Office study pointing to modest improvements in Britain's gridlocked rates of social mobility. By lunchtime, Chris Grayling, David Cameron's most persistent attack dog, was warning that such progress - if it exists "outside the No 10 spin machine" - would be wiped out by recession. Why so gloomy? Partly politics,...

Today Chris Grayling made a speech about 'fixing Britain's broken society' . There was very little that was new in it, and once again he paid tribute to the work of 'the voluntary sector groups who can make so much difference in local communities', and spoke about how important it was to support them.

Chris Grayling, soft-spoken Tory Attack Dog, has been caught out impoverishing his living quarters in a Sunday Mirror investigation. It must be said that Mr Grayling is not an Old Etonian. He cleverly got a free education in leafy Bucks that was rather better than the boys at Slough Comp experience. In fact as he is 46 and I'm 50 we must have overlapped by a year or two at the old Alma Mater. Mr Grayling...
