The thread title is not very informative, I came close to not bothering to open it. |

Personally given Shapps' record of ill informed comment and outright lies I don't care if he drops down dead. |

It breaks our new rule 12 you say? You tell him (but it does )But to topic . Is anyone going to shed a tear as Grant Shapps departure? What a prat and seemingly one that ignored that Tory staff were being abused so may be in line for damages claims.

But in my opinion, the conservatives are not taking advantage of the situation, here we have a person who is so full of himself that to even mention the word "mortal" is anathema to himself, his ego knows no bounds, Cameron should throw this idiot to the dogs and make a very big example of him and tacitly say to EVERY member of the house that this is what happens when you get too big for your boots, mere dismissal is a let off, imo. Remember, it is the taxpayer that gives you the privilege of having the word "honourable" in front of your name.....do not abuse that privilege. |

Terrible news about that young man, perhaps he was bullied because he was showing signs of decency and compassion? |

Well they did rid themselves of the arse, how many cheeks did NL hang onto for far too long? The good thing about the Tories is that they will, when pushed, let blood, Labour just rush to protect their own at any price. |

Shapps has been an 'arse' since day one. An 'arse' some Tories were promoting as a possible next leader and PM. Another in the mould of Liam Fox, and imo both Cameron and Osborne ...... they favour those without honour.

As a lifelong conservative, even I have to admit that Cameron does surround himself with some less than salubrious characters. Even Shapp's replacement is an old school chum. He should...he must do better! |

And this is why I believe that every electoral area in the country should be given the power to deselect the MP that supposedly represents them if that MP has acted innapropriately or is not doing his/her level best to live up to the promises that were made on the hustings and at the time immediately before selection, regardless of whatever party they represent. I know that I keep harping on about the adjective "honourable" but it is for good reason, at the end of the day, these people are supposed to set an example, if they slowly but surely erode the standards of decency and honesty whilst retaining the title of honourable then the meaning of the word becomes devalued and we MUST hold these very well paid chancers to account, as it stands, if I were an employer there is only a handful of the members that I would take on.

Cameron is coasting now as he sees not much point in attempting to fight a busted flush of an Opposition and he no doubt is laying out the chapters for his forthcoming biography or choosing a large oak desk for NATO or wherever sinecure. Everyone thought with Labour turning full left then the Tories would go right, they didn't, they saw a vacant plot in the middle of the allotment and took it over. Now they are the left of centre, centre and right of centre Gov. unopposed to form their broad church of Strivers. Osborne is now wearing George Browns mantel as well as his own. Only a fudged EU negotiation stands in his way to being the next PM and likely he will fudge it. |

A good post which no pragmatist can argue with, however, there is always the unknown quantity of the capricious British voter, and that, to me is what makes politics so exciting. |

You would have made a very good detective RJD, no sarcasm here! Following that career path a period as a relaxing paperback writer, maybe even a movie script writer ...... lots of sarcasm here! |
