My Take
Grayling fascinates me less for any single policy than for the sheer span of his political journey. Justice Secretary, Leader of the House, Transport Secretary, and an MP for Epsom and Ewell across more than two decades: that is a Conservative career lived squarely at the centre of power. His Cambridge education and later authorship hint at a man who never saw politics as his only register. He drew his share of criticism, as anyone in those roles inevitably does, yet the stamina to remain at the top table for so long is its own kind of achievement. A peerage seems a fitting full stop.
