Andrew Adonis Transported To Transport

He has been offered, and has clearly accepted, the position of Education Secretary under Cameron.

Merely being moved is very light punishment indeed.

    What evidence do you have that he has "clearly accepted" a position under Cameron? Please don't say

    1) well, he hasn't rebuffed the offer, or
    2) OF COURSE he has, everyone knows he will etc etc

    It has been announced. Publicly and repeatedly.

    Why are you surprised? Anyone who thinks that the three parties, and especially the big two, are in any meaningful way distinct is, frankly, still living in the Eighties.

    Off topic but are you going to post your take on the financial stuff at any point?

    Plenty of left wing scope for both diagnosis and action

    If you mean the crash, I have blogged about it many times, and doubtless will again.

    "It has been announced. Publicly and repeatedly."

    No, it hasn't. The Tories have made some statements about being happy to have him with them. But he hasn't once accepted.

    I work for BP. If I kept on making statements saying "David Lindsay would be great at BP, we'd love to have him", and you didn't say anything in reply, for any number of reasons, I wouldn't assume you had accepted the job.

    There is all the difference in the world between this and BP.

    He hasn't said No, and Brown has now moved him from Education. I think we can all read the signal that is being sent there.

    So when you said he has "clearly accepted", and clarified that by saying that "It has been announced. Publicly and repeatedly", what you are now saying is "He hasn't said No, and Brown has now moved him from Education, I think we can all read the signal"

    That isn't really the same thing, is it?

    Is this pretend unsophistication, or are you really like that?

    New Labour and the Cameron Tories are completely interchangeable. Deal with it.
