He's an under-secretary. He doesn't have the full transport portfolio else he'd be the Secretary of State. Next.

Left of centre and Liberal are different things. It's perfectly possible to be economically Conservative while socially liberal.
You're confusing liberalism with socialism. Given that Labour pursued an authoritarian socialist line can hardly describe a Labour voter as being liberal due to that vote. Expansion of the state, centralisation of powers and erosion of civil liberties doesn't strike me as being liberal, quite the opposite.
Given us 'Tory voters' (I along with a number of others voted Lib Dem but let's not facts interrupt the stereotypical bashing of the right) along with others are going to be suffering the pain for the now well reported economic abuse of the country by the left of centre for political and ideological reasons I'd say a good dose of catharsis is in order.
