A week in politics... as Harold once said.

Here today, gone tomorrow. Robin Day.

It all comes to fruition...

And about time. The whole episode is shocking, and these are the types of people who get elected.

Good read here.

Someone mailed me to say he hasn't gone yet...

He has now!

Never was a fan of Michael Green/Sebastian Fox/Grant Shapps or whatever name he goes by these days.

He is a lightweight who should never have kept his job after the Pseudonym episode.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Shapps being a Privy Counsellor would seem an ideal excuse for Corbyn to use for saying he had reservations about becoming one.

and this is the scum our top universities are turning out,no wonder the country is in the state it is in.future leaders in the mould of the current lot, self centred pricks that think they are something special when the majority are a bunch of coked up fannies interested only in themselves. this is politics and politicians today folks ,god help us.
shapps is a of the highest order,hopefully one day he will get what he deserves .

Hmmm - are you suggesting that he is typical of graduates?

He's 47 years old, so he would have graduated in 1993/94 or thereabout - so hardly a recent graduate.

Wiki says - "He completed a business and finance course at Manchester Polytechnic, and received a Higher National Diploma".

Not exactly Oxbridge.

Which of the country's great universities did he attend then - it wasn't Oxford, Cambridge, or Hull..

He was a dodgy geezer, like Archer and Ashcroft. You have to wonder why the Conservatives keep choosing these guys.

The bullying story is really very unpleasant.
