  1. #KemiBadenoch's purge of non-headbangers from the #ConservativeParty is scary. The BBC is right to challenge the purge. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyrjn

    But it's a real pity that their example victim was #GrantShapps. The man with dodgy businesses and multiple aliases is not a paragon of virtue.

  3. #grantShapps under threat in #welwyn

    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 😄

  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.

  16. 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"

  17. 🔴 It is "critical" for members of #NATO to increase their defence spending to at least 2% of GDP, says #GrantShapps

    In a wide-ranging speech on Monday, the #defence secretary insisted the #UK would "strive" to reach its own goal of 2.5% "as soon as possible"

    But he urged allies to grow their own budgets, as the "era of the peace dividend is over"
