Refreshing truthful #Shapps. Why can't sitting politicians also speak the truth? Also why did Schapps hold back on #Putin's "hold" over #Krasnov?

Ex-UK defence minister ‘disgusted’ by Trump’s attitude to Putin and Russia

Grant Shapps also compares calling Sumy strike a ‘mistake’ to statements by IRA terror group when it killed civilians

#Gove
On behalf of education staff - WTF - into the House of Lords !

And #Shapps gets a few knighthoods !

The whole of the honours system needs to be scrapped.

Grant #Shapps is a former internet get-me-rich-quick hustler who used numerous fake aliases. By the law of averages his opinions occasionally randomly coincide with good sense, but he and most of his wretched useless English Nationalist confederates have been ousted by the British Electorate. The UK Defence Secretary is the eminently shrewd John Healey , and extraneous views now offered by "Michael Green" sorry Grant Shapps on the subject are just so much irrelevant chatter.
Spiv #Shapps can't resist using his valedictory to list his numerous cabinet positions; testimony only to the chaos we have had to endure, and to his personal vanity.

@harriettmb

I too am hoping for a hung parliament of sorts, but I think #Labour will easily dominate this election. But #Shapps is right about a supermajority, although technically, a majority is a majority irrespective of its size (kind of), but a balance of sorts would be good, yes.

British defence minister Grant #Shapps accused #China on Wednesday of providing or preparing to provide #Russia with lethal aid for use in its war against #Ukraine.

Shapps told a conference in London that #US and British defence intelligence had evidence that "lethal aid is now, or will be, flowing from China to Russia and into Ukraine, I think it is a significant development".

"The world cannot wait, #Ukraine needs us to step up so they have what they need to push #Putin back.

That’s exactly what the #UK has done today.

A full breakdown of what we’ve rushed to Ukraine to support the men and women fighting on freedom’s frontline:"

"Even when he [Shapps] clearly knows nothing or has been exposed as a fraud, he just muddles on making stuff up. Keep Calm and Carry On Bullshitting."

Grant Shapps, the lighthearted defence secretary with a gag for every warhead
