Shapps is clearly yet another serial liar.

On the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show on Sunday, Shapps tried to defend the honours system by suggesting former Labour PM Brown had also used it to hand peerages to dozens of his supporters.
He said: “I think Gordon Brown in his resigntion list appointed 50 new peers - 50 new people to the House of Lords. We’ve seen a very small number from this current list.”
In actual fact, Brown did not issue a resignation honours list at all.
This, after he also falsely claimed he voted to Leave the EU in 2016.
Speaking before the country voted, Shapps told Sky News: “In the end I have come to the conclusion that because of concerns about the uncertainty of leaving, what it would mean for business, I will vote for Remain.”
However, Shapps told Sky News on Sunday that he DID vote for Brexit.
Shapps's use of the names Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath and Sebastian Fox attracted controversy in 2012. He denied having used a pseudonym after entering parliament and, in 2014, threatened legal action against a constituent who had stated on Facebook that he had. In February 2015, he publicly said: "I don't have a second job and have never had a second job while being an MP. End of story."
However, in March 2015, Shapps admitted to having had a second job while being an MP, and practising business under a pseudonym. In his admission, he stated that he had "over-firmly denied" having a second job.
In March 2014, Shapps tweeted support of the 2014 budget as supporting ordinary people. Opponents criticised Shapps of being patronising to working people by believing their pastimes were limited to bingo and beer.
