I’m not saying the government is disorganised of makes things up as it goes along, but former “future of roads” minister Lilian Greenwood has returned to the Department for Transport (DfT), just over a week after being moved.

It appears that she will also be a government whip and her responsibilities at the DfT have not yet been officially confirmed on the department’s website.
Neither have those of new minister Keir Mather, who appears to have maritime and aviation responsibilities.
Greenwood’s return brings the department back up to its full complement of four junior ministers under transport secretary Heidi Alexander.
Bizarre is not a strong enough word for such a turnaround.
