    If all the people who want #Labour to win, voted, then they *would* get a super-majority, as the #Conservatives know.

    And in some ways, them telling the truth (initiated by #GrantShapps), is a clever way of deboosting lazy Labour voters - and - boosting their own vote, simply based on fear.

    An interesting strategy that's had an unexpected result - a lot of young voters take the #Labour win for granted, and they've decided to use their vote as a protest by intending to vote #GREEN 😄

  7. 🇬🇧 A Tory social media campaign suggests the party fears a #Labour landslide in the upcoming general election, as minister #GrantShapps says they are fighting to avoid a #Labour "supermajority"

    The Conservatives' latest advertising campaign appears to target potential #Reform voters, warning them that the Tories could be reduced to just 57 seats in the next parliament, even if #Reform picked up no seats ⏩

  8. Does the world give a single fuck what Grant Shapps says?
    Like Rishi Sunak he lacks the gravitas for the World Stage. He's the typical Brit abroad these days, deluded, self important, incompetent and entitled.

  9. The 🇬🇧 #Defense Secretary, #GrantShapps, has ordered an urgent review after it emerged there is a shortage of planes for a mass parachute drop to mark the 80th anniversary of #DDay

    Hundreds of #paratroopers were expected to jump into #Normandy on the eve of #DDay to honour the actions of their predecessors in #WorldWarTwo, but plans have been scaled back due to a shortage of aircraft

    The #MailOnSunday reported just one plane was left for the event

  11. #GrantShapps aborted a trip to southern #Ukraine last week for "#security reasons", the UK defence ministry said

    The #defence secretary had to scrap his visit to Odesa last week after #UK intelligence reportedly warned #russia had become aware of his travel plans

    Mr Shapps was due to travel to #Odesa a day after a missile hit the city while the Ukrainian president and the Greek prime minister were visiting

    Reportedly, five people were killed in the strike

  12. ℹ Creating two separate states is the only solution to ending the conflict between #Israel and #Palestine, the defence secretary has said

    #GrantShapps said it was "disappointing" that Israel's prime minister has rejected the idea

    Benjamin #Netanyahu's position was not "a surprise", he told the #BBC

    But Mr #Shapps said #Palestine "deserved" a sovereign state, adding "I really don't see that there is another solution"

    🔹Calls for UK to deploy HMS Queen Elizabeth to Red Sea🔹

  16. Gary #Lineker seemed to break rules, next BBC chairman says

    Looks like our Gary may be for the chop - for adding his name to an open letter opposing the government's plan to deport asylum seekers to #Rwanda

    Tory MPs including #GrantShapps & #30pLee & #Gullis (what a collection!) accused him of breaching impartiality & complained to the corporation....

  27. I appreciate that what follows is a value judgement, and not an impartial journalistic comment, but here goes...

    England's defence secretary is a fucking imbecile.

  28. After hearing #Ukrainecast on @BBCWorld I can't help comparing the erosion of #RAAC buildings to the effects of the #Ukraine 🪖 counter offensive on the 3 Russian defence lines. When they fall it will be sudden - until then unless you're schooled in military strategy it may look like nothing. We should make sure #grantshapps knows that the UK government's military support for Ukraine must be constant

  29. 🔵 As #GrantShapps takes over as defence secretary from #BenWallace, Mr #Shapps has pledged to "continue...UK's support for #Ukraine".

    It is Mr Shapps' fifth cabinet job in less than a year, including roles as energy secretary, transport secretary and, briefly, home secretary.
