I have just e-mailed my MP to ask him to tell Theresa May from me that I recommend she treats that Grant Shaps's words with the contempt they deserve. The BBC are also to blame for giving him far too much air time yesterday evening, and I've just heard him again on Today.
Were I a Conservative supporter, I would be emailing my MP requesting him to align himself with Grant Shapps immediately.
Theresa May ran an unnecessary and disastrous election campaign and is solely responsible for the unsatisfactory position in which the party now finds itself. She has given the continued impression that she is out of her depth. She has no apparent strategy for Brexit nor any visible objectives beyond hanging on in office.
She (just like her immediate predecessor) has been more interested in the immediate concerns of her party than in the long term needs of her country.
Should she continue in office for much longer she will alienate a sufficient proportion of the electorate to ensure the election of a Labour Party which seems to have adopted Venezuela as its benchmark for national management.
