Adonis "I will not serve in a Tory Government"

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

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.
