Grant Shapps
|
|
Grant Shapps, the former chairman of the Conservative party, has resigned as a government minister, Downing Street sources have indicated, after David Cameron refused to offer his full support following Guardian revelations that he was warned about alleged bullying in the party.
Two threads about Corbyn, two about Diane Abbott, let's see how we get on with the revelation that Shapps turns out to be a nasty cunt after all.....
Before it predictably gets locked or deleted I'd like to hear After8's thoughts about Shapps' behaviour and how his party are getting on trying to lose the 'nasty party' tag?

Arf! @ WHO's own Wolfie Smith.
Do you write and perform protest songs, Ray? I would love to hear them. Proper drive the revoultion, they would.
Meanwhile, I want to hear more about this Mark Clarke character. Some of the stuff he is accused of is extraordinary. A nailed on little babyfaced psychopath.
And yeah, of course Shapps had to go.

So it was Shapp's doing the bullying then? Things you learn on WHO from the nut jobs.

Hadn't Shapps already been linked with some financial dodgy dealing?

Hi Ray
I said months back that Shapps was unsuitable to be chairman with all that fake name business. The guys a buffoon. How he became a millionaire I'll never know
The allegations about bullying are very serious. I feel very sorry for the family of the lad who killed himself.
I'm glad he has resigned.

He carried out business using a different name. He also wrote a book about how to become wealthy and ran adverts too.
Not sure that it makes that dodgy financial dealing but does make you a bit of a cock though.

Why did he have the need to use a different name After 8?

Debs, I meant shapps not you. While we have different political views, I respect you. You're always polite, honest and consistent. Others could learn from you.

Actually a very nice and generous guy. Fallen on his sword to try and stop this going further.

I believe he has resigned after the Tax Credits U turn. He was hoping that would see his book sales surge.

Thats a lot of certainly from someone who says theres always grey, not black and white and everything is complicated.
Also a firm statement from someone who doesnt follow the news.
