My heart lifted when I misread it as gets lifetime sentence. Oh well. Right wing grifting pays.
I hope he ruins his life as much as he ruined everyone else’s
They really need to stop this shit of handing out peerages
No mention of how he was always a massive Russophile, and how Dominic Cummings started out on the UK politics scene as his advisor after living in Russia.
This cunt was a key part in getting the UK out of Europe at the behest of Russia.
I wonder if Michael Green or Corinne Stockheath will turn up to collect Shapps' award?
