IF a camel is a horse designed by committee, then Grant Shapps is what would happen if a cabinet minister was produced using the same process.
As we saw during his disastrous Sunday morning media round, Shapps is just the right level of shameless to be the spokesperson for Rishi Sunak’s new strategy of pissing voters off as much as possible before he announces the date of the next General Election.His new slogan is “long-term decisions for a brighter future” – which is an odd thing for a party that has been in power for the last 14 years to promise.Party before they start to see some positive results.
According to Shapps, everything is ticking along nicely and as it should. You have to wonder, then, why the Prime Minister decided to hold an unexpected press conference last week to make an announcement that had, according to Shapps, already been announced. Shapps was also asked to explain reports that Rishi Sunak is planning to scrap the northern section of the HS2 high-speed rail line next weekend.
Whatever happened to the levelling-up agenda? For a while, that was the slogan of the day, and you couldn’t turn on your television without seeing a red-faced middle-aged Tory spouting it in response to every question they were asked.
