The outcome of this will be interesting with the election looming:
Whodunnit?
its really not that interesting.
The trouble with today's politics is that politicians and journos think this kind of thing is massively important.
Politician in backstabbing shocker, eh?
Anyone who didn't know Shapps was a contemptible little shit before this incident hasn't really been paying attention.
As Tories go he excels at being a greasy weasel, his recent past of pyramid schemes,lying about working outside Parliament and generally being an odious little shit with a face you'd never tire of punching mean that he's guaranteed to be a senior Tory for many years to come.
It's an interesting story I think. Important? Well, the actual allegations aren't important but the whole "no respect whatsoever for the truth" thing probably should be. I mean, we sort of accept that our politicians tell us big lies but this is a guy that you couldn't trust to tell you the time.
I'm not sure this makes any sense but I find this sort of day-to-day compulsive lying more unsettling than a big strategic lie, even though the nature of the thing's really trivial.
you'd have thought that the Tory party as a group would have learnt about the dangers of legal action against people who are telling the truth. I realize that Green/Shapps only sent threatening lawyers letters and didn't actually perjure himself but it's still indicative of someone who has zero respect for the truth and thinks that rules/laws apply only to other people. I suspect at some point he'll get sacked for being just too big a distraction.
What I find incredible is why the tory party would have someone who comes with so much baggage as their chairman? The laughable thing is that the tories are so ancient and behind the times they probably think he's some sort of young tech/social networking savvy whizzkid.
threatening to sue any who writes these terrible smears about him sneakily slagging off his colleagues

even cleggys taking the P
Clegg said: “Well, Grant Shapps has fervently denied that he had anything to do with it. He himself does not have the time apparently to edit his own Wikipedia entry. I’m prepared to believe him. It could have been someone else. Michael Green for instance.”

I reckon hes got some serious dirt on someone in the Tory party
Perhaps a clandestine sex tape of Cameron, where he makes the mistake of shouting out "NICOLA"
