[Spymaster]

He's just replaced Suella Braverman as HS.

 

[Gullyteen]

[cupid_stunt]

A man of many parts, mostly played without a hairpiece.

Should have let spitfire start it

Got to hand it to him, he made a remarkable comeback after the Michael Green business, quite remarkable.

Spooky, spoke with Mick Jones this afternoon, Schapps' cousin, he told me that his youngest daughter has just started uni at the same gaff as Schapps's daughter, they are in touch via WhatsApp (the daughters, not Jones and Schapps, a man Jones describes as "a cunt").

Wait, what. Mick Jones is Grant Shapps' cousin? Mick Jones from The Clash Mick Jones????

 

[Raheem]

Each of his alter-egos is related to a different member of the Clash, apparently.

Agreed we don’t need one for every member of the Cabinet, especially given that most don’t last a month in the job. The P&P forum is starting to look like a dump and the quality of debate is dwindling as the cross posting from social media replaces ideas and arguments

Yeah, kind of, second cousin, I think, not sure, Mick's quite a confused individual...

I'd be keeping the Shapps' connection very quiet if I were him...

There's black sheep in every family.

Yep. And Grant Schapp's brother, Andre, played keyboards in Big Audio Dynamite.

Is this stuff common knowledge that I've somehow missed???

Yet another imitation thread. I am flattered.

I don't think so. I knew about Andre/Jones from a friend who was a sparks in recording studios.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

A quick google finds that Shapps mentions his cousin a lot in interviews. Jones doesn't.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Saw his speech live and he ummed and ermed as much as Boris. Bit like he was completely surprised to be there.

To be fair, I think most Tories are quiet surprised about what has been happening though they should be over that by now.

it's fairly well known

Wonder why that might be...

(I've never knowingly read a GS interview.)

 

[stavros]

His first new policy is announced:

 

[Lord Camomile]

Do we have confirmation he's still in post?
