Adonis "I will not serve in a Tory Government"

Lord Adonis appeared on the BBC's Daily Politics show yesterday.

To view Andrew Neil enjoying the sound of his own voice click here.

When the Noble Lord managed to get a word in edge-ways there were two salient quotes:

1. “Given that life expectancy is increasing, many people will get the chance to travel on the new high speed line”. Note to rolling stock manufacturers - lots of Priority Seating required.

2. "I will not serve in a Conservative Government."

Does being Chairman of HS2 count as a political appointment?

If it does then Rowlands has well and truly nailed his colours to the mast.
