Boris Hits Back at Shapps Attack
The stop Boris campaign is gearing up. Following on from John Major’s intervention this week, Grant Shapps has slammed this summer’s Boris Mania. The Tory chairman dismisses the London Mayor’s credentials to make it to No.10. Shapps sniped that Boris didn’t have the “right set of skills” to become PM, and when asked the question directly replied with a firm: “No”. Bojo has now hit back:
Boris aide on Shapps' attack on the Mayor: "No he's not heard them. He is too busy leading London."—

All on the day that Shapps was reported to the police in a classic Labour kite that, without a “victim” of these alleged copyright breaches or plagiarism coming forward, will go nowhere. Presumably Michael Green has all the qualities required to run the country though…
Boris: comfortable at this depth and deeper too.
Brundleshapps: out of his depth.
I thought I was the one with the superposition…
All this talk about Kate’s tits really is Making Mountains of Molehills.
So when does somebody post the link to the new lot of snaps?

Shappattack sounds like a 1980s negro dance band.
Boris is the best kind of PM material for the 21st Century Digital Age. His IQ is higher than that of the collective Opposition Bench, and most of the Government side too. He is one of the few to have bested Paxman, Niel and Big-Ears on TV and made THEM lose face. He tells dirty jokes. He can swear in Latin and Attic Greek. He cannot be embarrassed. He has more hair than William Hague.
Shapps is the unacceptable faeces of Capitalism.
Didnt Boris call coalition policy on benefit caps “social cleansing ” ?
If so , how does this make him more tory than Dave?
It doesn’t, because like Cameron, he isn’t.
Come on guys – give me a break – only 3 more for me to hit a 1000 – don’t rush in just to beat me
Boris: comfortable at this depth and deeper too.
Brundleshapps: simply out of his depth.
How are you both? Your identical twin was quicker off the mark.
I’m fine thanks!…I’m off to the ME again tomorrow to see if I can sell some more globalisation…err…I mean democracy over there.
“”The stop Boris campaign”"” LOL
There is NOTHING to stop, other than the fantasy nonsense Guido and his flock believe may happen…It isnt !!!!!!
I hereby propose the Moussa Koussa for PM campaign.
The Tongans will love you.
Dream on Snottie, the time is running out for such as you.
If you’re right you’ll have to pick a new leader after Cameron loses the next election.
Boris leading Britain would make Berlusconi look like Henri Kissinger!
Burlesconi may be on the buffoon scale, but neocon warmonger he aint!
Must be the wrong Kissinger. He did more for world peace in his lifetime than any other politician.
With the exception of Obama’s peace prize, awarded withing 2 months of him becoming President.
No doubt all the dead Cambodians and GIs will agree with you.

KT’s browser refresh button must be worn out.
Get a fucking life, KT.
He follows the tweet. Now if Guido were really clever he would delay the tweet by five minutes.
Green and Shapps…very suspicious names. I bet they’re kosher!
“Shapps” actually sounds like a German pronunciation of that arse-less article of apparel that a gentleman of a particular sexual orientation with certain predilections might wear to a “leather-trade” boo*zer, or so one would gather from watching Pride Parades. Not sayin’, just sayin’.
See you there tonight?
I like Boris & he is popular but he is not PM material – need a bit more gravitas for that. Sometimes you need to appear solemn/serious which Dave does quite well (just shame about content) – rather than fighting each other they need to be confronting Labour/BBC and stop them setting agenda
I do not see why Boris should not be of the right material.
We need a thrusting and upright PM, surely?
Hmmm the right material for a PM…
Public school, with probably a heteroflexible background.
Job in the city gifted by Daddy
Ugly older token wife of some forlorn diplomat or fox botherer from the Chilterns
Massively out of touch
Still thinks there’s an Empire
A level of incompetence that is only usually found in inbred families, such as the German one here
Yep, I think Cameroon, Bojo, Gideon and Gove the slaverer all posess these qualities.
Makes it kind of hard to choose …
I’ll put you down as a yes, then…
Why not! You picks your halfwit and you takes your chance…
Only Cleggy boy on his own or the Feotus could be worse.
Twat by name, twat by nature. Oop Norrth you say, Scotch by any chance?
Gove?
An adopted working class lad from Aberdeen who made something of himself, an inbred? You need to take your medication.
Can’t afford any
Well if he’s self made, thank fuck he’s not designing cars…
Boris’s member has more go in it then the whole of the Tory front bench membership let alone Cameron!
Potential PMs should not be panalists on HIGNFY – also what happens when all the stories about threatening to have journalist beaten up for writing story about his mate. Its fine when he’s just loveable old Boris but when BBC get in full Labour electioneering mode I think it could cause lost votes.
Never underestimate the ability of the Tory party to throwaway the chance of gaining or staying in power…after all they’ve been at it for the past 22 years….the problem and the reason for all the ruckus is that THEY believed that Cameron was a winner…..their Tony Blair…….. and could lead them to 3 consecutive terms instead of barely winning one against an opponent who was already finished before he went into the 2010 election ……………….now they are desperate and will turn to ANYONE who they think may stand a chance of even remaining the largest party in 2015(they’ve abandoned ALL hope of winning a majority)
The ability of Cameron and Co to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is unsurpassed in the political history of this country. They are if nothing else consistent in their misreading of the public mind.
The sort of gravitas funeral directors are noted for?.
Mr Shapps would do well to heed the immortal words of Peggy Mitchell:
“Don’t you say something you’ll come to regret later, Grant!”
Problem is that Westenders have different scriptwriters.
It’s lovely here in France, Ruperts coming to Dinner tonight, how we’ll chortle.
Toodlepip chaps.
Laugh about how the Murdoch press witch-hunted Large tory donors and scared them from donating again?
Labour trolls like you really think Rupert’s favourites are the Conservative Party????
15 years supporting New Lav and Bliar godfather to one of his children. Rupert doesn’t like to back losers, especially when the interests of NI are at stake
There appears to be a huge amount of legislation to keep Capitalism in check, but very little to keep Socialism in check
There are approximately 6,000,000 components from hundreds of suppliers in a Boeing 747
Boeing will spend hundreds of millions of Dollars in order to comply with the legislation in order to protect human life
Tony Blair signed off the Iraq / Afghanistan project, committing us to war with zero meaningful checks or balances
Gordon Brown sold our gold in a similar manner.
All the MP’s are socialists of the wrong sort
A pinhead of nerve gas or Blister agent on human skin is enough to kill a Human in time of war or Chemical accident as stocked by the Ministry of Defence in UK.These are official figures MOD figures.
“a classic Labour kite”
Thanks Guido
The perfect scenario 2013, and the most likely
• Zac Floppy Hair resigns his Richmongs constituency
• Boris MP takes his Richmongs seat.
• London Mayoral election re-run – Zac Floppy Hair loses to Ken
( very likely )
• Boris Tory leadership bid fails ( very likely )
• Boris pathetic moaning backbencher until 2015.
Livingstone lost (TWICE!) get over it!
You lefties really have some sad fantasies.
“OOOOOHHHHHH! Kenny, let me stroke your newt!”
+1
“Boris didn’t have the “right set of skills” to become PM”
Very true of course. London mayor is a personality contest. Did Livingstone have any chance of becoming Labour leader ffs!
Boris is local level jester who was far better than the alternative, Livingslime. Even in dumbed down Britain, He’s got no chance at national level, least of all with his alleged philandering.
This blog made it’s name by NOT spouting the same narratives from the MSM village. Yet, these days, this blog is lazily regurgatating phoney baloney lines from the dying dead-tree press.
Boris has about as much chance of becoming leader of the Conservative Party as UKIP have of polling more than the Lib Dems and even getting an MP at the next election.
What the hell is Kermit the Frog doing behind Shapps?!
Don’t worry, he’ll soon be for the chop.
If you want a reality check just look at the latest updated monthly cashflow charts for that Barclays sponsored bicycle scheme .
If he was working for Sir Arnie Weinstock ( RIP ) then our Bouncing Boris would be out of a job tonight.
How many true wealth creators have come out of Eton ?
I was a very satisfied customer of the original Michael Green. The company deteriorated terribly after Shapps left so I don’t believe his Fox guy is the same person.
Was going to suggest that Shapps looks like a complete prick, but with an alias like ‘Michael Green’ I guess it’s unlikely . . .
The Tories never learn from their mistakes; division and back-biting midterm!! Now some dimwits are talking about womaniser Boris as a potential PM, what utter bullshit. It is not surprising the jarheads of the Tory right would vote for Boris the Mop but the country would die laughing before putting an X against his name In a general election.
GO GO Tory Party, implode once again into the abyss!!!
About right that.
