Well that didn't take long!
A mere month into his new role ruining Britain's transport sector (shurely 'running'? Ed) Petrol-head Hammond is already whinging to the Spectator that he should have had the Chief Secretary to the Treasury job.
This from Politics Home:
In an interview to published in tomorrow’s Spectator, the transport secretary talks about missing out as chief secretary to the treasury.
He says of David Law’s resignation: “If I had been a Liberal Democrat I would have been there before him.”
Perhaps a novel way to inspire confidence in a sector that has already been hit disproportionately hard by the first tranche of budget cuts.
Well Phil, you weren't our first choice either...
